“On what planet?”

Yours.

“A person can be saved without being baptized, but nobody ever said that baptism is *false*.”

You do, in your next sentence.

Besides, you can’t rebut the observed phenomenon with one cherry-picked instance.

Have you been sniffing the incense? Open a window and get some air!

She posted

“A person can be saved without being baptized, but nobody ever said that baptism is *false*.

“The teaching that baptism is required is a false teaching, however.”

She isn't saying “baptism is false.” She's saying baptism is not a requirement for salvation nor can one be saved by baptism alone.

If an atheist came to a catholic church, claimed to convert, went through the catechism and rituals but did not believe...would they be saved?
