‘“The Catholic Church has long recognized the validity of Protestant baptisms in which the person was baptized in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit,” he explained. “In the last ten or fifteen years, however, there were concerns among Catholic bishops regarding Protestant baptisms in which different names were substituted for the Holy Trinity, or in which a method of sprinkling was used that did not achieve any flow of water on the skin.”’

Another argument in favor of staying with the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit(or Ghost) and not doing the “Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer” routine.

And “a method of sprinkling,” as immersion is what baptismo denotes and best fits the typology of burial, though the Scriptural intent is key.

And while Rome basically recognizes Trinitarian Prot baptism, few are really intending to do all that Rome intends in her baptism.
