If Protestants truly believe that they will enter heaven simply because of the fact of their baptism

We don't believe that! Actually we, Southern Baptists, believe that one is saved first, then follows our Lord in baptism. The baptism does not forgive our sins or grant us any special dispensation. It is a beautiful symbol of how we have died to sin, been buried with Christ, and now we are resurrected to a new life.

You explained it perfectly, but for the Scriptural reference Romans 6 says the same thing.
