Do we have to be baptised to go to heaven? What if you're a good person who's never heard of Jesus? Is baptism in a Protestant church valid? In this episode we discuss the first of the three sacraments of initiation (baptism, confirmation, and communion).

About Podcast
Crash Course Catholicism breaks down the beliefs, traditions, and teachings of the Catholic Church in a way that's thoughtful, accessible, and engaging. The first 50 episodes of this podcast are a summary of the Catechism of the Catholic Church, while later episodes include deep dives into big questions about God, Scripture, Church history, the saints, morality, and the spiritual life. Our aim is to help you build a stronger understanding of the faith without requiring a theology degree.
