Baptism and the Grace Which It Typifies are Open to All, Both Infants and Adults.

Doctrinal Treatises (On the Trinity, Enchiridion, On the Catechizing of the Uninstructed, On Faith and the Creed, etc.) · Saint Augustine of Hippo

For from the infant newly born to the old man bent with age, as there is none shut out from baptism, so there is none who in baptism does not die to sin. But infants die only to original sin; those who are older die also to all the sins which their evil lives have added to the sin which they brought with them.
