You took what I said out of context. I said that the Church no longer teaches that an infant will not go to Heaven if it were to die without being baptised first, in lieu of original sin. And yes, I am Roman Catholic and this is exactly what we were told when we had both of our children baptised.

I said that the Church no longer teaches that an infant will not go to Heaven if it were to die without being baptised first, in lieu of original sin.

The Church never taught that dogmatically, so the Church's position cannot have changed. We are permitted to hope that God gives these children, who have died before being baptized, an opportunity to choose for God and hence attain heaven. But even the doctrine of limbo, that these children attain "natural happiness" without attaining heaven, is still a permissible position. It remains an open question, to some extent.

No, actually I didn't. Just because you were told that by someone, does not mean that it is true. Some Roman Catholics do not believe in "Limbo" any more, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it does not exist. Limbo is still thought to be where the unbaptised babies go. They do not see the face of God but, are not unhappy.
