The difference is Jesus Christ is not the Body any more than the church is the Head...Jesus Christ is the Head...

That's not what the Bible says. The Bible says that, as Christians, we become Christ's body. That is why Christ asks Paul, "Why do you persecute me?" To persecute a Christian is to persecute Christ Himself. Christ tells us that whatever we do to the least of our brothers, we do to Him. We ARE His Body as Christians who are "born again." And He is BOTH the Body AND the Head.

Born again believers are the Body/the church...

Yes. This is Catholic teaching as well. We likely disagree on what it means to be "born again." For Catholics, baptism is the sacramental process by which we are "born again." Later, at the sacrament of Confirmation, we give intellectual assent to the grace we already received at Baptism. If we are adults at conversion, we get both at the same time on the same day. Baptists usually put the two together -- confirmation and baptism all rolled into one -- as do the Catholics with an adult convert. The major difference here is only the issue of infant baptism and whether it is legitimate or not.

Personally I can't understand why Baptists would consent to the idea that children who die before being "born again" are condemned to Hell. For Catholics, our children are believed to go to Heaven with us, even if they did not receive confirmation, because they receive Baptism as an infant.

Who are you trying to mislead here??? Non Catholics know that babies don't go to hell, or limbo...

HaHa...Getting a baby wet, even against his/her will will not put a baby in heaven...Baptism is useless til one repents...Babies don't repent...
