This is the first sentence at that Catholic link: "Catholics and Protestants agree that to be saved, you have to be born again."

In Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, and various Protestant denominations, being "born again" is equivalent to being baptized. "Born Again" Christians, however, belong to evangelical sects which put a high degree of stock in an interior experience of conversion, even if one has already been baptized, generally in one's teens or early adulthood. They tend to interpret it as being equivalent to being "born in the Spirit", similar to confirmation in churches more oriented to sacraments, but personal and experiential rather than sacerdotal. In some evangelical denominations, it is contingent upon the revival event of accepting Jesus as one's personal savior, a more intimate relationship than that of the ordinary communicant.
