1. Disrespect towards God and the Church is not allowed here.
2. We honor the dignity of life from the womb to the tomb.
3. Debate about Scripture, tradition, politics, etc. are allowed when they do not directly contradict rule 1 (controversial history is an open topic when people are respectful).
4. Trolling, coomerisms, and poorly attempted humor may receive the mop at the discretion of those in charge.
5. Pray for your family, pray for your community, pray for your nation, and pray for rDrama.net. We need it! Prayer works!

I thought they had to be baptized

hmm it seems I was mistaken, thanks.
According to the catechism (CCC 1261) and with interpretation from the Vatican (https://www.vatican.va/roman_curia/congregations/cfaith/cti_documents/rc_con_cfaith_doc_20070419_un-baptised-infants_en.html), it seems like we believe that God should have a plan for those infants who were unable to obtain baptism before dying as infants and therefore have done nothing to deserve punishment but also nothing to deserve heaven. This being because we believe that God desires the salvation of everyone including, and perhaps especially, those who were unable to be baptized due to dying before they were able as infants. While we cannot know that they are in heaven, we pray that they are and believe that God will deliver them.
