Given your screen name, I’m surprised you’re not familiar with Catechism of the Council of Trent:

Infants Receive The Graces Of Baptism

It may not be doubted that in Baptism infants receive the mysterious gifts of faith. Not that they believe with the assent of the mind, but they are established in the faith of their parents, if the parents profess the true faith; if not—to use the words of St. Augustine—then in that of the universal society of the saints; for they are rightly said to be presented for Baptism by all those to whom their initiation in that sacred rite is a source of joy, and by whose charity they are united to the communion of the Holy Ghost.

Baptism Of Infants Should Not Be Delayed

The faithful are earnestly to be exhorted to take care that their children be brought to the church, as soon as it can be done with safety, to receive solemn Baptism. Since infant children have no other means of salvation except Baptism, we may easily understand how grievously those persons sin who permit them to remain without the grace of the Sacrament longer than necessity may require, particularly at an age so tender as to be exposed to numberless dangers of death.

That said, however, the Theological Commission, considering together the revealed data and the universal salvific will of God and the universal mediation of Christ, wrote that there are more appropriate ways to address the issue of the fate of children who die without having received baptism, for whom a hope of salvation cannot be ruled out. These conclusions are not new to tell the truth, they originated around the time of the Council, but bring together the fruits of a very broad theological consensus today.

Compare the Catechism of the Council of Trent to the universalist Ferrer.

ebb tide:

The Council of Trent said those who die in original sin would not merit heaven true. It did not say that if they were unbaptized (Did not receive the Baptism Sacramentally) that they died in original sin as The Council of Trent also spoke of baptism of desire and also I do believe baptism in blood.

Limbo for unbaptized infants may in fact be true. As I said, because Saint Augustine posited it, it is a very plausible theological opinion, but in the end that is all it is. It has never been formally defined as Doctrine to be held for all times and placed by any of the 21 Church Councils or Papal Dogmatic Letter. That is all I was stating earlier.
