By this regeneration and
sanctification another effect of baptism is produced, namely, incorporation in
the mystical Body of Christ. For, By one Spirit we were all baptized
into one body—Jew or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one
Spirit (1 Cor. 12:13); and this is with all the rights pertaining to the
community of the faithful, namely, participation in all the other sacraments. For,
by the washing of the regeneration of baptism, those born to natural life are
not only reborn to the life of grace, but they also receive the character and
become capable of receiving the other sacraments. (Joseph A. de Aldama,
