You will not have salvation until you ask YHvH for His salvation.

Then anyone who dies before the age of reason is damned to hell?

Of course not. Salvation is a free gift, not one accomplished by our works (i.e., accepting, asking, etc.)

That's why Christianity from the times of the Apostles has had infant Baptism.

Who are you to tell the creator of the universe what His Rules for salvation are ?

If you were familiar with the Holy Word of G-d you would know
that YHvH knows His Chosen from before the foundation of the Universe.

YHvH has told us in His Word.

NAU Joel 2:32 "And it will come about that whoever calls on the name of YHvH
Will be delivered;
For on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem There will be those who escape,
As YHvH has said, Even among the survivors whom YHvH calls.

NAU Romans 10:13 for "WHOEVER WILL CALL ON THE NAME OF YHvH WILL BE SAVED."

See John 3:3- 21 for a more detailed discussion.

But how can you say that Christianity has had infant Baptism right from the times of the Apostles? Ok, I know in the Bible the Apostles baptised an entire family and at no point does the Bible say that infants should not be baptised. And, I know that Origen and earlier Christian writers including Ignatius from the 1st century wrote about infant baptism.

BUT, the groups that were formed in the 19th and 20th century say that this didn't happen! Who are you going to believe? A group that's less than 100 years old or The Church founded by the Apostles and teaching the Apostolic faith as handed down from Christ through His Apostles?
