The unitary charge conjugation condition ${\\cal C}\\psi{\\cal C}^{\\dagger}=\\psi$ is not maintained in the definition of a quantum Majorana fermion from a Weyl fermion. This is remedied by the Bogoliubov transformation accompanying a redefinition of the charge conjugation properties of vacuum, such that a C-noninvariant fermion number violating term (condensate) is converted to a Dirac mass.
