That was obvious. The question is what would the repercussions be of the child dying without being baptized?

And the answer is as obvious: the child would not have the benefits of baptism. Again, the alternative view is that the Sacrament of Baptism is of no value, no benefit, meaning or effect. That's the only alternative I can see; is there another?

The alternative is that a God would not punish a baby that has no conscious will to make a decision about baptism.

I’m really curious and hoping to get a clear answer in practical, easy to understand terms:
Two babies that are not baptized are with their parents on a Sunday morning. One baby goes to church and is baptized. One baby goes to brunch. On the way home there is a car accident between the two families and both babies die.

Please be as clear and specific as possible and describe what happens to the two babies after they die.
