Just because you are baptised doesn't mean your sins are forgiven. Did he ask Jesus into his heart to be his personal Lord and saviour and forgive him of his sins?

Hmmm. Sounds like he "did" something better: "believed and was baptized".
You sound a bit like a modern-day Judaizer. You seem to want to add burdens and turn salvation into a work. If Bork has no faith, he is not saved. But he sounds like a believer to me, at this point. "Baptism now saves you".

The thief on the cross next to Jesus wasn't baptized, but was saved nevertheless.

Baptism is a command, which we should honor and any saved should want to honor it. However baptism doesn't save you as the thief on the cross illustrates. It is faith in Jesus and faith alone that saves you.
