If I was baptized as a baby, I’m good right? No post dunk?

Depends on the denomination. Some don’t consider infant baptism to be genuine, others think it’s enough.

There is one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. It’s a one and done deal.

That doesn’t mean you shouldn’t repent of sins that you have committed after baptism though. Forgiveness cant be applied proactively, you’re not forgiven for bad things you haven’t done.

okay as a non-christian i’m curious, what would be the issue with being baptized very young/in infancy? isn’t it abt clearing away sins from a past life or something to that effect?

I was baptised/raised Roman catholic but left it long ago. From what I remember, with a grain of salt, it’s to wash away “original sin” in the case of infants and induct them into the church. It’ll vary by denomination what the practices are, though. A lot don’t partake in infant baptism as the kid can’t exactly understand what’s going on.

#1 is right, but in addition, Catholics believe that one isn’t a child of God until they are baptized. It’s a spiritual adoption too.
