If you read the next two verses you’ll see that they spoke the Word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house, they must have become believers, because then the whole family was baptized.

Be careful of reading things into the text that aren't there.

That is the likely scenario since belief always occurs before baptism (biblically anyway)...
