60. Tenax of Horrea Celiæ said: "There is one baptism, but of the Church; and where the Church is not, there baptism also cannot be."

61. To him we answer: How then comes it that it may be where the rock is not, but only sand; seeing that the Church is on the rock, and not on sand?

Chapter 32.—62. Another Victor of Assuras¹⁸⁴⁴ said: "It is written, that there is one God and one Christ, one Church and one baptism.'¹⁸⁴⁵ How then can any one baptize in a place where there is not either God, or Christ, or the Church?"¹⁸⁴⁶

63. How can any one baptize either in that sand, where the Church is not, seeing that it is on the rock; nor God and Christ, seeing that there is not there the temple of God and Christ?

Chapter 33.—64. Donatulus of Capse¹⁸⁴⁷ said: "I also have always entertained this opinion, that heretics, who have gained nothing outside the Church, should be baptized when they are converted to the Church."¹⁸⁴⁸

65. To this the answer is: They have, indeed, gained nothing outside the Church, but that is nothing towards salvation, not nothing towards the sacrament. For salvation is peculiar to the good; but the sacraments are common to the good and bad alike.
