In the Anglican Church, a person's faith is confirmed (by the bishop) as a reason of the assignment the god-parents of that person made on the of baptism (given that he was young and unable to tell whether he will be a Christian or not) .A person at the age of understanding, usually 12 and above confirms his Christianity and the god-parents are no longer under the task of caring about his Christian faith. However, this is not biblical-mandated and has therefore faced criticisms from the other sects of Christians.(Proverbs 22:26)The case is the same for Catholics. It s argued that according to The Bible one must accept Christ personally."For with the heart man believes unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation"Romans10:10.

Catholic AnswerIn the normal course of events, you need confirmation to be saved. It is not strictly necessary but it is the normal completion of your baptism. In the eastern Rites of the Church, confirmation and Holy Communion are given to a newborn infant at the same time as Baptism. Confirmation, in a very real sense, completes baptism and gives you the graces to be an adult Christian and to witness to your faith, which is a necessary part of working out your salvation.from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994
1285 Baptism, the Eucharist, and the sacrament of Confirmation together constitute the "sacraments of Christian initiation," whose united must be safeguarded. It must be explained to the faithful that the reception of the sacrament of Confirmation is necessary for the completion of baptismal grace. (Cf. Roman Ritual, Rite of Confirmation {Ordo confirmationis}, Introduction 1.) For "by the sacrament of Confirmation, [the baptized] are more perfectly bound to the Church and are enriched with a special strength of the Holy Spirit. Hence they are, as true witnesses of Christ, more strictly obliged to spread and defend the faith by word and deed." (Lumen Gentium 11; cf. Ordo confirmationis, Introduction 2)
AnswerConfirmation is the sacrament where an individual receives the Holy Spirit. Jesus before he died told the apostles he would send the Holy Spirit to give them further information, training and insight into God and his will.Baptism is also when someone receives the Holy Spirit. Confirmation is called this because the person confirms their willingness to be involved in the church and let the Holy Spirit work through them. This is why often it is a sacrament for teenagers, because it is an adult decision and concept that children would find tricky (adults do too!)
