"I was extrapolating one time ...
...but then I realized that I was going way past where I should have been."
Acts 18:8 and the Didache. Infant baptism is biblical.
Burning at the stake was typically done by secular authorities who wanted pure Catholicism in their land.
“Acts 18:8 and the Didache. Infant baptism is biblical.”
No baby or child is baptized in Acts 18:8.
The Didache is not Scripture - and after it was taken from the Jews, it was altered over the centuries. It is an interesting piece of history.
You can find within "Condemning The Errors Of Martin Luther", where Pope Leo X specifically points out one of Martin Luther's errors 33. That heretics be burned is against the will of the Spirit.
You can try and say that is was secular authorities that burned people at the stake, but the practice was approved and sanctioned by the Pope.
After Pope Leo X summarizes Martin Luther's errors, he concludes with this statement. No one of sound mind is ignorant how destructive, pernicious, scandalous, and seductive to pious and simple minds these various errors are,...
So that idea that it is wrong to burn people at the stake is harmful to pious and simple minds. Wow.

It is not Biblical, and basic mentions of whole household baptisms do not constitute evidence of it but are only speculative regarding it, while the Holy Spirit's stated requirements for baptist is wholehearted repentance faith:
Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost. (Acts 2:38)
And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. (Acts 8:36-37)
And where there is more details it is shown that the subjects could hear the word and respond.
And as they went on their way, they came unto a certain water: and the eunuch said, See, here is water; what doth hinder me to be baptized? And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. (Acts 8:36-37)
There is no salvation by proxy faith, while it is the faith behind baptism that appropriates justification, (Rm. 4:1-7ff) as the regeneration of Cornelius and household b4 baptism shows, God "purifying their hearts by faith." (Acts 10:43-47; 15:79)

As required by Rome for RC leaders:
Canons of the Ecumenical Fourth Lateran Council (canon 3), 1215:
Secular authorities, whatever office they may hold, shall be admonished and induced and if necessary compelled by ecclesiastical censure, that as they wish to be esteemed and numbered among the faithful, so for the defense of the faith they ought publicly to take an oath that they will strive in good faith and to the best of their ability to exterminate in the territories subject to their jurisdiction all heretics pointed out by the Church; so that whenever anyone shall have assumed authority, whether spiritual or temporal, let him be bound to confirm this decree by oath.
But if a temporal ruler, after having been requested and admonished by the Church, should neglect to cleanse his territory of this heretical foulness, let him be excommunicated by the metropolitan and the other bishops of the province. If he refuses to make satisfaction within a year, let the matter be made known to the supreme pontiff, that he may declare the ruler’s vassals absolved from their allegiance and may offer the territory to be ruled lay Catholics, who on the extermination of the heretics may possess it without hindrance and preserve it in the purity of faith; the right, however, of the chief ruler is to be respected as long as he offers no obstacle in this matter and permits freedom of action.
