That won't doom you to any such fate. Avoiding hell is dependent ONLY upon coming to Jesus in repentance to accept Him as personal Lord and Savior, and thus accept His freely-offered gift of eternal life with Him.
So easy. And yet, very sadly, billions of people who would accept a million-dollar gift in a heartbeat, in trade for giving allegiance to his benefactor, choose to avoid accepting **this** WONDROUS offer.
Go figure.

You will be saved by your "faith" not works according to the Bible. But the Bible also says that true "faith" will result in obedience. The first thing new Christians did in the Bible? Get baptized. It was so important that Paul did that before he ate after his conversion. The jailer did it "that same hour" of his conversion. "All who believed were baptized that day" on the day of Pentecost (about 3000). So will you go to hell? I can't answer that since I'm not God. But if you believe in Jesus, why would you not obey His command this very day like those before you? Or is it... that you don't really believe? Now, the Bible says pretty clear that you must believe to be "saved". Again, none of us can truly answer since we aren't God but we can answer with what God has already told us in the Bible! Be blessed!

Baptism is an act of obedience one does AFTER you are born again.
Romans 6:4 Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.
Baptism is an observance that memorializes the death, burial and resurrection of Christ Jesus.
You will not go to hell if you are not baptized. Jesus said...
Luke 7:50 And he said to the woman, Thy faith hath saved thee; go in peace.
It is belief that saves one...not baptism.
Think about this...you have no clue what baptism is until AFTER you are saved. I hope this helps.

Yes, very likely ..... but there are three ways to be Baptized.
"Unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he can not enter into the kingdom of God." John 3
Water Baptism in the Trinity formula.
Baptism of desire, like the thief on the cross.
Baptism of blood as the martyrs.
In Christ
Fr. Joseph

Baptism and salvation do go together for the promise of eternal life, but you can't isolate Baptism to affirm the consequent. There is no scriptural backing for that.

The thief that repented on the cross beside Jesus was saved, yet he was not baptized.

Not necesarily only if you didn't want to be baptized, because if you never met a catholic it's impossible for you to become catholic

No. Baptism is just an outward sign of washing away old things and making all things new.
