We baptize children.

Where's the free will in that?

The parents choose to baptize their child in the Church or not. The baptized makes their free will choices as they come of age in knowing right from wrong, following and believing in Jesus, etc.

This is quite different from belief that a fetus is either saved or doomed in the womb - with no free will choices ever, and nothing possible changing their salvation one way or the other.
