Is confirmation a purely Catholic thing?

• dragonwriter 3y ago
  Its common to most of Christianity (excluding the Baptist, Anabaptist and other “believer’s baptism” denominations) but has different cultural attachments; its quite plausible that, in a local area in parts of the US, the Catholic community would be the only one where it is both practiced and the kind of event for which gift-giving would be associated.

    It was a relatively italian/catholic area we grew up in. You sort of knew who was being confirmed and when in that era (late 80s).
