One sponsored at a baptism (8)

I believe the answer is:

godchild

(Other definitions for godchild that I've seen before include "one who's received sponsorship" , "Religious protege" , "Sponsored baptised baby" , "One sponsored at christening" , "Sponsored youngster" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
