I never said that baptism saved anyone. That came from you in your post above. I just stated at how the Bible said it was to be done. Get over yourself.

Infant baptism

All the mainline Protestants conduct infant baptism the same as in the Catholic church.

Again, this is all "splitting of hairs". I'll never get why people argue over this so much.
