My mother, who still attends the Church of Christ, believes that all of the people who were baptized as infants or by sprinkling or pouring of water are not really baptized and are not saved. She thinks they are all going to hell.

And so does most other organized religions, ie., not being baptized... So the point I believe is moot.

I don't know about the ICC, but the Church of Christ I went to believes that anyone not baptized is not a Christian. They also believe that anyone not completely immersed is not baptized. Also, anyone baptized as an infant is not baptized. My mother, who still attends the Church of Christ, believes that all of the people who were baptized as infants or by sprinkling or pouring of water are not really baptized and are not saved. She thinks they are all going to hell.

Thank you for finally explaining to me why some religions don't consider Catholics christians.

I'm truly sorry your mom thinks that all baptized babies are going to hell. That is just sad, on so many levels.
