The RCC catechism (1250) says that unless a parent baptizes their infant, those children cannot be a "child of God." --

"The Church and the parents would deny a child the priceless grace of becoming a child of God were they not to confer Baptism shortly after birth.51

So you have the parents electing their child, and not God.

Strange stuff, that RCC catechism.

Baptism is irrelevant. Again Romans 9, *and* the thief on the cross.

The honest reader of the CCC, the one reading to find out what it actually says, NOT the one who goes in only looking to pick incriminating cherries, knows that it says that Baptism is NOT absolutely necessary to salvation.
