This is what is known as a "hard case". What God does in such a situation is not spelled out in Scripture, so we have no way of knowing for sure. What we do know is that we are to believe, repent of our sins, confess that Jesus Christ is the Son of God, and be baptized for the remission of our sins. It is that simple.

We know the answer. This is not a "hard case". The robber on the Cross is a testimony to this. He believed and was saved. Jesus said the robber would be with Him in Paradise on that day. No baptism needed. It is our belief that saves us from the wrath of God and gives us eternal life.
