Few truths are so clearly taught in the New Testament as the doctrine that in baptism God gives us grace.

That false doctrine isn't taught at all in the scriptures...

Again and again the sacred writers tell us that it is in baptism that we are saved, buried with Christ, incorporated into his body, washed of our sins, regenerated, cleansed, and so on (see Acts 2:38, 22:16; Rom. 6:1–4; 1 Cor. 6:11, 12:13; Gal. 3:26–27; Eph. 5:25-27; Col. 2:11–12; Titus 3:5; 1 Pet. 3:18–22). They are unanimous in speaking of baptism in invariably efficient terms, as really bringing about a spiritual effect.

Baptism doesn't mean water...Never will...And water doesn't mean baptism...

Act 11:15 And as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost fell on them, as on us at the beginning.
Act 11:16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, how that he said, John indeed baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost.

Act_10:47 Can any man forbid water, that these should not be baptized, which have received the Holy Ghost as well as we?

These people were baptized in the Holy Ghost and then later were baptized in water...

Getting water dropped on you while some person wearing a robe gives a little speech does not indwell anyone with the Holy Ghost...

Christ’s instructions to the Apostles and successors: He said to them, “Go into the whole world and proclaim the gospel to every creature. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved; whoever does not believe will be condemned.

That was Jesus' command to all of his Jewish disciples at the time...

Comically, your current pope remarked some time ago that a person didn't have to believe in Jesus Christ to be a Catholic Christian...

Catholic always ignore the glaring truth in the scripture you just posted...And that is: if you believe and are baptized you'll be saved, but if you don't believe and are baptized anyway, you are condemned...

Well, there goes all the babies who were baptized in the Catholic church...And what's that, about 90% of the Catholic population???

You Catholics are only allowed one baptism, which is with water, and if you weren't old enough to recognize sin and the need for a Savior at that one time baptism, that baptism is meaningless...
