If baptism is what saves a Roman Catholic, and mortal sin causes one to lose their salvation....why doesnt the Roman Catholic have to be re-baptized again in order to regain salvation? From the Catechism of the Catholic Church
1272 Incorporated into Christ by Baptism, the person baptized is configured to Christ. Baptism seals the Christian with the indelible spiritual mark (character) of his belonging to Christ. No sin can erase this mark, even if sin prevents Baptism from bearing the fruits of salvation. Given once for all, Baptism cannot be repeated.
For sin committed after Baptism our Lord instituted the sacrament of Penance (see John 20:33).

If someone who is baptized goes to hell over sin, then they were never saved in the first place.
The very nature of salvation is being saved from the penalty of sin, going to hell.
If someone still has to pay the penalty for sin,t hey are not saved.
If they are saved, the penalty has been paid for them and they will NOT ever go to hell for their sin.
