So the sign and seal saves now if a child dies in infancy? Is there more grace given to an infant child because of his baptism? I am not sure that is a good Paedo position.
My comment was directed at the nature of the hope we have for all our covenant children based on God's promise. It was not particular to the matter of infants and death.
The sign and seal is not related to the state of an elect infant dying in infancy. We baptize our children after the command given to Abraham and suitability modified for the new covenant. Not because we think our infant children might die.
