Blessed art thou, and all generations shall call me blessed!
Lk 1: 43 And whence is this to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me?

without Christian baptism heaven is unattainable
Without Christian baptism original sin is not removed
They do not go to heaven without baptism but they have no personal sin so they do not go to hell as you claimed
Infant Baptism
Acts 2:38-39 Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.
39 For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call.
Promise is to you’re children! Vs 39
This promise made in ez 36
A promise from God is a sacred oath, and a sacred oath is a sacrament!
Ez 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness, and from all your idols, will I cleanse you.
26 A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.
27 And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them.
Jn 3:5 born again by water and the spirit.
Acts 16:15 entire household baptized! Does not say except infants!
Ez 36:25 Then will I sprinkle clean water upon you, and ye shall be clean: from all your filthiness.
(It does not say accept infants!)
Baptism is the Christian initiation sacrament of the new covenant for all men. Matt 28:19 Jn 1:29 Jn 3:16
1 Corinthians 12:13
For by one Spirit are we all baptized into one body, whether we be Jews or Gentiles, whether we be bond or free; and have been all made to drink into one Spirit. (It does not say except infants!) (but it does say “all”)!
Lk 1:10-11 all people including infants
Thee faith is required for baptism.
Mk 16:16 acts 8:36-38
If it’s not possible (as in the case of infants) it’s not required.
But the promise of the parents to raise and educate the child in the faith is required, then the child is confirmed in thee faith at the age of reason.
Repentance is required for baptism. Acts 2:38
If there is no personal sin to repent of (as in the case of infants) then it’s not required.
For two thousand years the church founded by Christ on Peter and the apostles has always baptized infants!
Blasphemy ... again you presume to speak for your Grand Poobah!
Go and say ten Hail Mary's
Revelation 17:3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.
[4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication:
[5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH.
Revelation 18:4 And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues.
[5] For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
[7] How much she hath glorified herself, and lived deliciously, so much torment and sorrow give her: for she saith in her heart, I sit a queen, and am no widow, and shall see no sorrow.
refers to the pagan Roman Empire!
The church actually has five colors not two
Most common is black, also gold, white, scarlet or red and purple
the Roman Empire was conquered by Christ and his holy church
Prophecy of the new covenant church fulfilled in the apostolic union with Christ!
Matt 21:43 Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, (Israel) and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. (The new covenant church) Jn 15:1-5
Dan 2: 44 And in the days of these kings (Roman Caesars) shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever.
Isaiah 2:2
And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
Micah 4:1
But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it.
Lk 1:32 He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David:
33 And he shall reign over the house of Jacob for ever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end.
Lk 22:29 And I appoint unto you a kingdom, as my Father hath appointed unto me;
Matthew 5:14
Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid.
Christ the king!
The king of kings!
Christ is King of Glory!
The Roman Empire!
In one hour it is conquered! Rev 18:17
Refers to the conversion of Constantine who saw a vision of the holy cross and the complete conquering by the kingdom of God, the holy church founded by Christ on Peter and the apostles! Matt 16:18 & 18:18
Scripture is our authority.
No man can add extra Biblical commentary to scripture and expect others to follow it.
If they follow the commentary, they are to blame.
We have easily accessible, printed Bibles in these last days, so pretending we are in the dark ages and saying "I didn't know" will not work in the judgement for our generation.
Sola scriptura.
Revelation 17:4 - "The woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour."
The Roman Catholic Church is known throughout history for banishing the Word of God from men, supplanting the true Apostolic Church, even MURDERING true saints, would be dressed in Purple - the official color of Archbishops' robes, and Scarlet - the official color of Cardinals' robes.
Revelation 17:4 - "The woman was ...decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication."

You forgot to mention the golden calf, a type of Mary, who was lifted up and adored while Moses was communicating with God.

“Bible alone” is a condemned heresy and only causes confusion
Truth must be revealed by God, and in its fullness in the sacred deposit of faith by Christ to his church! Eph 4:5 Jude 1:3 and must be taught by the church, or proposed for our belief by the apostles!
Matt 28:19-20 Lk 1:4 Jn 20:21 acts 8:31 Rom 1:5 col 2:7 1 Tim 3:15
matt 18:17
Not the Bible or the Bible and the teaching authority of Christ in His church founded on Peter and his successors! Matt 16:18-19
Who is the arbiter of truth!
You can decide.
You can decide what is true.
You can decide what is truth.
You can decide right and wrong.
Not one of these are found in scripture!

Truth must be revealed by God thru Christ to His church (the apostles Jude 1:3) then must be proposed by the church, (Matt 28:19 gal 3:23) without error by the Holy Spirit! (Jn 16:13)
Christ and His church are one! (Acts 9:4 eph 5:31 Jn 15:1-5)
Rejection of the one true church or its teaching is rejection of Christ and God!
you are attacking Christ!
You are saying the sacrifice of Christ is an abomination?
No the golden calf as an idol but has nothing to do with the immaculate purity of Mary ever virgin mother of God and our salvation
All that talk about truth, without once mentioning the one who leads believers into Spiritual truth
it does not say so!
the HS leads the apostles into all truth!
They teach us!
Unity of faith!
“Bible alone” is the cos of division;
Not the Bible or the Bible and the teaching authority of Christ in His church founded on Peter and his successors! Matt 16:18-19

But only neophyte catechumens
faith and baptism are required to be a born again Christian
Mk 16:16 Jn 3:5 acts 8:36-38
