Capitalization of vital and church certificates

Dear EE,

Studying the templates and examples throughout EE (4th and 1st eds.) for capitalization with regards to vital and church certificates, I think I understand the pattern as:

- In the reference notes, use lower case and generic descriptions, so birth certificate, baptism certificate.

- In the source list as collections these are upper case such as Baptism Certificates, or as in 8.23 (4th ed.) Sacramental Certificates.

... and regardless of whether I am using Template 9 (Church Office) or Template 7 (Family Artifacts).

Would I follow this pattern for the two baptism certificates attached: one which has no title per se, and the other which does?

Thank you,
Jeff Hodge
