No baptized person could go to Limbo because a baptized person in the state of mortal sin would be damned, and a baptized person in the state of grace would eventually enter Heaven.

HMMMmmm...

Looks like the REQUIRMENT for baptism to be NECESSARY for salvation is a bit, shall we say, ineffective.

In that case, you have completely misunderstood everything I said.

The theory of Limbo was BASED ON the necessity of Baptism for salvation.

The problem was this:

No one can be damned who is not guilty of personal sin.

No one can be saved without Baptism.

Therefore: What happens to those who die without personal sin, and without Baptism?

Limbo, a state of natural happiness, without the Beatific Vision. I.e., a place or state that is neither Heaven nor Hell.
