You are the one who placed the word "baptism" in your interpretive parenthesis. The context in John 3 is obviously the water of the mother's womb, not a church's baptistry.

Obviously.

I mean, it couldn't be that your own prejudice colors the way you look at this verse.

Of course, your interpretation means that the unborn go to hell because they are never born of water.

They are all born of water. Some might suffer a premature birth or a still birth, but they are all still born.
