Our Bible Presbyterian church baptizes infants as a sign of the covenant.

He gets that part right.

The Pastor explains that it is a symbol and that it does not save.

What does he think the "covenant" is then?

The covenant is the visible body of Christ both saved and unsaved. The covenant sign of Baptism replaces the OT covenant sign of circumcision.

Just as that sign did not save (remember circumcise your heart?) Baptism will not save it marks membership in the visible church
