Chasing s different squirrel, curious re: Martin's post (several bumps above) re: "Christened and Confirmed" with, if I recall correctly, speculation that she might have been re-Christened into (by?) the Church of England.
I assume (?) that "christened" is just Brit-speak for "baptised". AFAIK at least in the US a person is (supposed to be) baptised only once, not re-baptised on changing from e.g. Presbyterian to Methodist or Episcopalian (Anglican) or Catholic - so long as one is baptised in the name of the Trinity, it's considered to be valid by any church professing the Trinity.
Please note that I'm not questioning, arguing or trolling re: the theological merits, only curious as to the process.
