I am really disappointed to see that the definition of baptism no longer includes mention of original sin. I haven’t carefully gone through the rest of this catechism, but it makes me wonder if other harmful changes have been made.
I think what you are looking for is in the very next section (#316). Please do not think that this is a "modern" watered-down catechism. The text is the official Revised Edition, copyright 1949.
"315. What is Baptism? Baptism is the sacrament that gives our souls the new life of sanctifying grace by which we become children of God and heirs to heaven."
There is then a 1 page explanation with points A, B, and C.
"316. What sins does Baptism take away? Baptism takes away original sin; and also actual sins and all the punishment due to them..."
