I have a similar question about that too. During our Saturday Vigil Mass, it is common to have baptisms in the Mass itself (instead of a separate practice). Is this bad?

Baptism is the initiation of a new member of Christ's Church. It's not a private event by its nature.

If it's not, I guess it's still bad that we substitute the Creed for the Baptismal promises, since the answer to that question above (about omitting the Creed) seems pretty absolute.

In my experience, the Baptismal promises includes a Q&A version of the Creed.
