Lay Baptisms

Even Roman Catholics accept them.
"Although, however, all the faithful can baptize, the priest alone can complete the building up of the Body in the eucharistic sacrifice" (Vatican II, LG, section 17)

"[Baptism] is validly conferred only by a washing in real water with the proper form of words." (Code of Canon Law, Canon 849)
