Yes, in the Confirmation Sacrament, you renew your baptismal promises made for you as a baby. You invite the Holy Spirit to strengthen your spiritual life. In addition, the Bishop lays his hands on your head to confirm (witness) the promises you've made as you enter young adulthood.
Your Baptismal promises.
Baptism makes a complete change in a person's soul making them into a child of God who can worthily praise God and make it to heaven. That change happens even if the child is an infant and does nothing himself. Once one is older one must sort of "claim" their baptism and live according to the promises that were made at that time. So, in a very real way, renewing one's baptism would be making the graces received real in the present. Everyone at Mass renews their Baptism at Easter as the priest leads them thorough the questions and answers from baptism and then sprinkles them with the new holy water.
The Paschal Mystery is that Jesus was crucified and died and is risen and ascended into Heaven. That is the second Baptismal promise.
It is used for Baptism & for reminding us of our Baptismal promises.

You renew the baptismal promises made by your Godparents for you at Baptism. You are, basically, 'confirming' those promises and your own desire to be a Catholic.
At Baptism, the child's parents & godparents make the vows. At Confirmation, the young person makes the vows for him/herself..Catholic ChurchIn the Catholic Church, Confirmation is the second of the three sacraments of initiation: Baptism, Confirmation, and the Holy Eucharist, all of which are given at the same time, shortly after birth, except in the Latin Rite, in which they are separated. Thus the baptismal promises are an integral part of all three sacraments, but the sacrament of confirmation is just the strengthening of the Holy Spirit to live out those promises. In all but the Latin Rite, the confirmand is a newborn and much too young to "renew" the vows for himself. So the Baptismal promises are integral to all three, but the specific action of Confirmation is the strengthening by the Holy Spirit to live out those promises.
In Baptism we reject sin, evil, and Satan.
