It is interesting that some of the early fathers who promoted infant baptism were baptized as fully grown men. And I believe some had mothers among the faithful.

It makes sense if baptism makes you good enough for glory, not the purifying faith that is behind it which is counted for righteousness, and thus necessarily effects holiness.
