"So I ask again,if the catholic church teaches that baptism is a necessity to enter heaven where do unbaptized babies go?"

I appreciate that it is the practice of some Prtotestant sects to mine nuggets from Scripture to affirm what ever point of dogma suits its founder, but you cannot apply the same practice to the Catechism. Unlike a penal code, it must be taken in its entirety. When read and understood in its complete context it makes no such demand on infants for their salvation.

Well that's great...We don't care to hunt in your catechism because when we find what appears to be a definitive statement, you guys claim that it doesn't mean what it says...

So all you guys have to do is tell us the conclusive determination of what your catechism says on any given topic and we'll know what your religion teaches...

So what is the final determination on baptism in your catechism??? Easy, ain't it...
