The Church teaches that one who has been Baptized but not Confirmed is a Christian, but not a fully-initiated Christian. As the US Conference of Catholic Bishops state:
At Confirmation, we receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. In the Gospels, the same Spirit that descended on Jesus during Baptism descends on the Apostles at Pentecost (CCC, nos. 1285- 1287). The readings and homily we hear at Confirmation remind us that this same Spirit is present to us today. At Confirmation, we receive diverse spiritual gifts that work together for the “common good” and “the building up of the Church, to the well-being of humanity and to the needs of the world” (Pope John Paul II, Christifideles Laici [The Vocation and the Mission of the Lay Faithful in the Church and in the World], no. 24).
