I. To the Question

26. On the contrary:

Augustine says in his Enchiridion ch.13 n.43, “From a child recently born up to one decrepit [with age], just as none is held back from baptism, so there is none who does not die to sin in baptism;” but no one dies to sin unless he receives grace; therefore etc.

27. To this question I say that just as it is believed that original sin is discharged in baptism for a child, so too is it believed that grace is infused into him, because, as was said in the question on Circumcision [d.1 n.370], God remits guilt (conformably to the state of fallen nature) to no one save one to whom he gives grace; for he liberates no one from perdition unless he ordains him for this, that he be a son of the Kingdom.
