Paragraph 1227. According to the Apostle Paul, the believer enters through Baptism into communion with Christ's death, is buried with him, and rises with him: (790)



Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, so that as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.



The baptized have "put on Christ." Through the Holy Spirit, Baptism is a bath that purifies, justifies, and sanctifies.
Paragraph 2796. When the Church prays "our Father who art in heaven," she is professing that we are the People of God, already seated "with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus" and "hidden with Christ in God;" yet at the same time, "here indeed we groan, and long to put on our heavenly dwelling." (1003)



[Christians] are in the flesh, but do not live according to the flesh. They spend their lives on earth, but are citizens of heaven.
