However, the Catholic Church believes that the Good Thief exhibited a Baptism of Desire as well as a Baptism of Blood.

Neither Biblical. Just a man-made doctrine.

“...the Good Thief exhibited a Baptism of Desire...”

LOL! Baptism of Desire. Chapter and verse?

(It’s fun to make stuff up.)

However, there is no New Testament support for the Roman Catholic claim of "baptism of desire."

Baptism is not what saves you. Belief in Christ is what saves a person. Baptism is the outward confirmation of what has happened in a person.

If not, Cornelius was not saved nor was the thief on the cross or the woman at the well nor a whole host of people.

Whatever happened to *one Lord, one faith, ONE baptism*?

Now the Catholic church has invented many more not even alluded to in Scripture.
