(I know it looks like there's a crossbar in this record, but the Latin word is gemelli.)
Until the new "edit anything" index-correction tool is applied to this collection, this is going to stay incorrectly indexed: FS doesn't allot any of its limited resources to making such corrections to individual entries, and the old tool cannot add or remove entries or fields. The best we users can currently do is to add "and" between the names, which I have done (https://www.familysearch.org/ark:/61903/1:1:XCPV-6T5).
The good news is that despite its flaws, the index served its purpose: you found the record.

Like most female baptisms in the Hungary Catholic Church index, this one has legacy-data profiles in the Family Tree (https://www.familysearch.org/tree/person/details/LC6V-MG1). These were submitted to one of FS's prior systems based verbatim on the index entries. The identity of the submitter and the connection to the source were not able to be preserved in the import into Family Tree in 2012, but the hinting system has found the latter and is suggesting it. If you have the time and inclination, you can help clean up this twiglet of the collaborative Tree by attaching the index entries and correcting the family, adding the second daughter and changing the names.
As always with an indexing error, you can still use the source and attach it to all of the correct profiles. You can either copy it to your Source Box, note the error in the Notes/Description field, and attach it to the other twin that way, or you can bypass the index and use the image as your source. (There are multiple ways to do that, too: you can use the "Source Box" button on the image, or you can create a source "longhand" using the URL.)
