Jesus says that NO ONE comes to the Father except through him....these infants will arrive in heaven with THE DOOR being their way as well.

Well, I believe that infants must come to the Father through Christ; I believe that they, just like me, have need of a High Priest. But you, believing that they are not sinners in need of Salvation, really need to explain why these verses mean an infant has need of their heart being sprinkled clean by our High Priest.

You misunderstand the difference between sin-guilt and sin nature. The child, as a child of Adam, has a sin nature. But as a non-sinner, there is no sin-guilt attached. Therefore, there is no "guilty verdict," but there is a need for Christ.
