I did not mention baptism of desire or baptism of blood in connection with infants (though I believe the latter is applied to the babies killed in Herod's slaughter).

As to "Scripture does not teach any of this," I thought you were aware that the Catholic Church does not subscribe to the principal of sola scriptura (else we wouldn't have the doctrine of the Trinity either).
