Formely referred to as "RCIA". The name change is also intended to better reflect that an “order” is a collection of all the “rites” involved in the process. The revision will also introduce four new categories: catechumens (unbaptized adults), unbaptized infants, baptized non-Catholic Christians, and baptized Catholics in need of confirmation.
