The first Universal Tour changed from 'Confirmation' into what?

• A. Initiation
• B. Baptism
• C. Celebration
• D. Invitation

Answer: (D)

This item tests how a rite formerly labeled Confirmation was reframed to emphasize welcoming others into the faith community. Confirmation traditionally marks a believer’s personal affirmation and strengthened commitment. Changing the name to Invitation shifts the focus from an inward milestone to an outward action: inviting people to join the community and participate in its life. Among the options, Invitation best captures that pivot toward hospitality and outreach. The other terms don’t convey that welcoming emphasis: Initiation suggests starting or beginning a process, Baptism is a distinct sacramental rite, and Celebration speaks to the mood of the event rather than the purpose of inviting others in.
