I'm going once a month to Coptic parish.  Will I need to be baptized and chrismated. 

I'm praying I'll live to do that. I have a bad heart.  On much meds. to live.

You'll only need to be chrismated, not re-baptized.

So you’re an Eastern Orthodox believer, slowly converting to the Coptic Orthodox Faith?

Forgive me if I have misunderstood...

No need for chrismation (historically speaking this is the precedence we have from St. Severus), just a confession of faith (so basically a repudiation of Chalcedon lol)

@katanikhoros... That's not what happens now. The bare minimum has always been chrismation.

@minatasgeel you're wrong. That may be current practice but that is not the historical precedent. Read this article by abouna Peter Farrington: https://www.academia.edu/6905688/St_Timothy_Aelurus_of_Alexandria
