The next step for those who responded to the call was the registration of names (ὀνοματογραφία ) Procat. § 1..  It appears from passages of Dionysius Pseudo-Areopagites, quoted by Bingham Antiq. X. ii. § 6., that the Bishop, after laying his hand on each Catechumen’s head, commanded his Presbyters and Deacons to register his name, together with that of his sponsor (ἀνάδοχος) in the Diptychs of the living.  This ceremony took place at Jerusalem at the beginning of Lent, as we learn from Procat. § 1:  “Thou hast entered, been approved; thy name inscribed.…A long notice is allowed thee; thou hast forty days for repentance.”  Those who had been admitted as candidates for Baptism were in most Churches still reckoned among the Catechumens, being distinguished as συναιτοῦντες , “competentes.”  But from Cyril’s language in several passages it appears that in the Church of Jerusalem they ceased to be regarded as Catechumens, and were reckoned among the Faithful.  “Thou wert called a Catechumen, while the word echoed round thee from without.  Think not that thou receivest a small thing:  though a miserable man, thou receivest one of God’s titles.  Hear S. Paul saying, God is faithful.  But beware, lest thou have the title of ‘faithful,’ but the will of the faithless Procat. § 6..”  “Thou receivest a new name which thou hadst not before.  Heretofore thou wast a Catechumen, but now thou wilt be called a Believer (Πιστός) Cat. i. 4..”
