Is Baptism Necessary for Salvation?

Sarah Soto discusses if Baptism is necessary for Salvation and what we can do as Catholics to remember, prioritize, and evangelize accordingly.   Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit (vitae spiritualis ianua), and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as sons of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church, and made sharers in her mission: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word."
