As my 9 year old taught me, the thief on the cross was never baptized and yet He went to paradise that day with Jesus.

A PERFECT Act of Contrition. Or I have heard some call it a Baptism of Blood.

But of course. Baptism doesn't save, anywise, infant or otherwise.

As for the rest of this article, it's the usual Catholic rubbish that I'm seen on this issue dozens of times before. Appealing to 3rd century authorities (which we don't even know were really majority viewpoints, anywise) as if they were apostolic, while taking verses of Scripture completely out of context while redacting later Catholic doctrine back into them.

Might convince those who are already Catholic, but not very persuasive to anyone who actually knows anything about the Scriptures.

Yes, the grace of our Lord is boundless, but did you explore with your daughter whether the thief may not have wound up on a cross if the Holy Spirit had been bestowed on him as a infant.
