Infants have no faith, so they cannot be saved. You basically proved my previous observation that Protestants/Baptists by necessity believe all infants who die (whether baptized or not) go to hell. Isn't that the so-called Reformed theology, HD? If you don't mind my jumping in, Scripture isn't clear on this. However, God knows who his elect are from before we are created. Baptism and the LORD's Supper do not impart Grace so it would not be inconsistent to believe that God has taken them home.

However, God knows who his elect are from before we are created God knows what he knows. Ours is to do what he commanded us to do: baptize all nations in the name of the Holy Trinity. The rest is up to God. No point speculating.
Infants are innocent. If we truly believe that our God is a merciful and just God, then whatever happens to them is merciful and just.
