Incorrect in two ways. Water does not need to be blessed for baptism, any ordinary water will do, from holy water to dirty water from a muddy puddle. However, it must have the species of water, so it must not be wine, milk, or gatorade.

I have reviewed the CCC but I can't find the language of "species of water". Where did you find that?
Gatorade is like 94% water, probably more water than most 'dirty water from a muddy puddle'.
steam is 100% made out of the same material as water, still not of the species water. nor ice. now imagine some sect attempts to baptize with steam and/or ice, just to demonstrate they are "smart" to find "loophole" in the CIC :-)
