That is incredibly absurd.

Except that it follows logically from the premises.

Though after death is also a possibility. The premises do not entail that this choice is offered before death. Correct? The Fathers were in Limbo because, in part, they were not yet able to choose Christ. Babies are not yet able to choose. We also know that positive development occurs after death (e.g. purgatory). So we need not become Cartesian dualists with regard to babies' capacity for choice in order to deal with this problem. No?
