catechumen

Since then, there has been constant flow of new inquirers and people preparing to be baptised, known as catechumens.

Many catechumens this Easter were part of groups that were well over a dozen people, huddled together in large churches.

In the opinion of prominent theologians, a mere catechumen can, under certain circumstances, be a member of the Church.

The third or lowest triad is made up of monks, “initiated” and catechumens.

Canon 19 is a long one dealing with catechumens, preparation for baptism, administration of that sacrament, and of the eucharist for the newly baptized.
