Never Been Baptized
The RCIA process is generally longest for those who have never been baptized, sometimes taking more than a year. In choosing to enter the Catholic faith, this person will receive the Sacraments of Baptism, Confirmation, and Eucharist in the same Mass. 
Together, it is determined determine how much time, instruction, and community support a person will need to receive these sacraments.
Baptized Non-Catholic
​In the Catholic faith, we believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. As long as a person's baptism is done with water and using a trinitarian formula, baptism is never repeated. Instead, a person is asked to make a profession of faith and participate in the Sacrament of Reconciliation before receiving the Sacraments of Confirmation and Eucharist. 
Depending on the extent of a person's formation in another faith, this path to Catholicism can be faster than if a person had never been baptized.
Baptized Catholic
The RCIA process is not meant for people who have been baptized Catholic but have not completed their initiation. However, some of its elements may be useful as a person returns to practicing an active faith. 
A baptized Catholic will be guided through the processes needed to complete their initiation.
