Can baptism save a person without faith in Christ?

Answered in 1 source

No, baptism does not save; it is a sign of faith and obedience following true conversion.

Baptism is an important ordinance but does not confer salvation on its own. As seen in Acts 8, Simon Magus was baptized yet remained 'in the gall of bitterness,' indicating that without an authentic heart response to God, baptism is meaningless. Salvation comes through faith in Christ alone, not through a ritual. It is through belief in the gospel—acknowledging that Christ died for our sins—that one is saved, and baptism acts as a testimony to this inner transformation after faith.
