On the other hand John 6:40 simply says, [For my Father's will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.] Nothing said about baptism.

This is true. The thief on the cross next to Jesus never had time to get baptized. It was faith in his Savior alone that saved him.

God is merciful.
