No, because man needs grace and grace is obtained through Baptism. Grace restores us to the state where we are free to come to God.

Prove positive of purely Pelagius' postulation.

Say that three times.

If grace is obtained through Baptism, then man is the one who can decide on God's grace. Man is the driver.

No, Pelagius is accused of teaching that man does not need Baptism.

No. Baptism is a sacrament. As such, it is accomplished through the work of the Holy Spirit.
