Q. 1. What are the effects of Confirmation. I mean what happens when one receives that Sacrament?

A. 1. The Sacrament of Confirmation increases sanctifying grace, gives its special sacramental grace, and imprints a lasting character on the soul.

The character of Confirmation is a spiritual and indelible sign which marks the Christian as a soldier in the army of Christ. The character of Confirmation gives power to fight spiritually with Christ and for Christ against the enemies of the Faith.
