After reading this post yesterday, I decided to ask my boyfriend (a Catholic) about baptisms. He informed me that Catholics baptize infants to wash away original sin, so if they die they won't go to Hell. If this is their belief, how did it change so much to being a choice thing to do for Protestants when they're older? It seems that for Catholics, baptism is used to prevent babies from going to Hell, but it's more of a getting closer to God and religion for Protestants. Am I wrong on my assumptions?
