Jesus didn't say that who is baptized shall be saved. Jesus said that whosoever believes & is baptized shall be saved. And whosoever doesn't believe shall perish.
So? You have to believe Jesus is the Christ, the Son of the living God. And you have to not be blaspheming Gods Spirit by calling Him demonic, or else God isn't forgiving you. You must come to repentence for not believing in Jesus Christ, the Son of the Living God.
Being baptized alone doesn't save anybody. Whosoever shall confess Jesus Christ Lord & believe in ones heart that He raised from the dead shall be saved.
The one thief on the cross did this. He confesses Jesus Christ Lord & King. Jesus said that today you will be with Me in Paradise. So? The one thief who believed Jesus was without sin & Lord & King and confessed this went to paradise. The other unrepentant thief died in his sins.
It is also written that no one calls Jesus accursed by the Holy Spirit. And no one can honestly confess that Jesus Christ is their Lord & Savior except by the Holy Spirit. So? Once a person is born again, it is impossible to abide in sin (make sin a comfortable habit) because of the Holy Seed within. Some Christians call the miracles of God demonic, so? Then God disciplines them immediately. God doesn't just wink at that.

When a person believes and is baptized they believe because they have been given the gift of the Holy Spirit who gives them saving faith. No one who has been born again by the Holy Spirit is going to go around blaspheming the Spirit.
1 John 3:9 No one born of God makes a practice of sinning, for God's seed abides in him, and he cannot keep on sinning because he has been born of God.

Read the 5th chapter of Galatians written by the apostle Paul. He says they are fallen from grace. To fall, they first have to be saved and then lose the status of being saved.
Once saved / always saved is foreign to the Bible in context.

Instead of trying to second-guess Him, or trying to find some sort of loophole or whatever, why not ask a priest or minister?
