Can someone be a believer without being baptized?

Answered in 1 source

Yes, a person can be saved without baptism, as seen in the example of the thief on the cross.

It is indeed possible for someone to be a believer without being baptized, as exemplified by the thief on the cross who expressed faith in Christ and was assured of salvation despite not undergoing baptism. This underscores the truth that salvation is through faith alone and not contingent on the act of baptism. However, while baptism is not a requirement for salvation, willfully neglecting it can indicate a lack of genuine faith, as it reflects a refusal to follow Christ's commands and may suggest disobedience to the Spirit’s work.
