Those Scriptures do not back up infant baptism as there aren't any so you can't find one. You presented to the board what the RCC teaches and not what you believe. So, I'll assume whatever they 'say' you believe.

There is not one word in Scripture about baptism being limited to adults.

Salvation is limited to those who....

"That if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved." Romans 10:9

"For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess and are saved." Romans 10:10

Your laundry list of Scripture and the RCC 's interpretation of them is so far off - it's reserved for the truly dumbed down.

As posted, this is why not just only at confirmation, but each at Easter, Catholics by “renewing” their baptismal promises do as you refer.

Wrong, they do.

Whom God says it is limited to. The saved from the Old Testament had only the promise of a Redeemer.

Infants can have faith: Matt 18:6.

Infants can belong to the kingdom of God: Psalm 8:2 Psalm 22:9

The call to baptize is universal and never circumscribed by age, race or gender.

Infants can die demonstrating that they are not immune from the curse of original sin. In short, Baptism is God's work, not man's. God does the creation of faith, the forgiveness of sins and the spiritual regeneration that occurs at Baptism.
