Can a person be saved without baptism?

Answered in 2 sources

Yes, a person can be saved without baptism as salvation is by grace through faith alone, not dependent on any work.

Baptism is not a requisite for salvation. Historic Reformed theology teaches that salvation is wholly by God’s grace through faith in Christ alone, as emphasized in Ephesians 2:8-9. The case of the thief on the cross, who was assured of salvation without baptism, illustrates that while baptism is an important act of obedience, it is not the means by which one is justified before God. Believers are called to be baptized as an act of obedience demonstrating their faith, but this does not enhance or alter the basis of their salvation, which rests solely in Christ's redemptive work.
