Do Lutherans and Catholics have the same beliefs regarding the purpose of Confirmation?

Accepted answer

In the Lutheran faith confirmation is not a sacrament as it is for Catholics. According to the book of Concord Article XIII(VII) confirmation does not meet the criteria which make a sacrament as it is not required by Gods direct command nor is there a clear promise of grace associated with it. I would say the caveat exists that it is at conformation where people first receive communion as it marks that they now have fellowship with other Lutherans of their denomination.
