>>its called baptism of desire.<<

Now that there is funny! You’re saying the thief on the cross was baptized by desire and others who have the desire to be saved so profess a belief in Jesus aren’t? You can’t be serious. Besides, that is not what even the Catholic Church doctrines say. I’m assuming of course that you are Catholic by faith.

Baptism is only symbolic and any other assertion is demeaning the death and resurrection of Jesus.

"Baptism is only symbolic and any other assertion is demeaning the death and resurrection of Jesus." Show me that verse in the Bible.

If they know the obvious words of Scripture requiring Baptism after recieving the gift of faith and refuse it they will be condemned as Christ says.
