Nicene and Post-Nicene Fathers: Series I/Volume IV/Donatist Controversy/On Baptism/Book VII/Chapter 33

64.&#160; Donatulus of Capse said:&#160; "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."

65.&#160; To this the answer is:&#160; They have, indeed, gained nothing outside the Church, but that is nothing towards salvation, not nothing towards the sacrament.&#160; For salvation is peculiar to the good; but the sacraments are common to the good and bad alike.
