What is Heresy?

[Carbon]

Are you saying baptism is a requirement for salvation?

Of course not, if that's what I was saying, you wouldn't be asking me if that's what I was saying.

Are you saying baptism is a requirement for salvation?

Baptism, the meaning of this washing with water, signifies and seals a spiritual fact or relationship, namely, union with Christ and membership in his body, the church.
This sign or seal (baptism) presupposes the existence of that which is signified or sealed. Hence, baptism is the sign and seal of a spiritual reality which is conceived of as existing.
Keep in mind, where the reality is absent, the sign or seal has no efficasy.
