Despite the strong link between baptism and both salvation and Christian initiation, most Christians regard baptism as being in some way an ongoing event throughout one's Christian life. In the Catholic Church, baptism is seen as the source "from which the entire Christian life springs forth." To illustrate this, baptized persons renew their baptismal promises every year at the Easter Vigil.
