In the Rite of Election and Call to Continuing Conversion, for those who are to be baptized at Easter, "...the Church makes its “Election,” that is, the choice and admission of those catechumens, who by their dispositions are fit to take part in the next celebration of the Sacraments of Initiation" (OCIA, 119). For those already baptized, the Call to Continuing Conversion is "celebrated with baptized but previously uncatechized adults who wish to complete their Christian initiation through the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist or who wish to be received into the full communion of the Catholic Church" (OCIA, 449).
