Sacrae Theologiae Summa on Water Baptism being both Regenerative and Symbolic; not "either-or"

  

It is symbolic, because by water and the used words the cleanness of the soul, which must be cleansed of its sins, is signified; by this washing is signified the internal cleanness which those must have who want to belong to Christ’s Church. (Joseph A. de Aldama, Severino Gonzalez, Francis A P. Sola, and Joseph F. Sagües, Sacrae Theologiae Summa, 4 vols. [trans. Kenneth Baker; Keep the Faith, Inc., 2015], 4-A: 137)
