Furthermore, Mormons hold that little children are incapable of committing sin and, as such, have no need of (saving) baptism until age eight when they can discern right from wrong, and are thus capable of sin and can be held accountable. Little children who die before reaching the age of accountability (even though they are unbaptized) are automatic heirs of salvation and are saved in the Celestial Kingdom of God through the atonement of Jesus Christ.

Quite sensible.

My mother, the erstwhile Catholic, once gave me a big speech about how Limbo was Catholic's way of keeping little babies from going to Hell. (That's how I found out what Limbo *is*, incidentally.) Do the other denominations that think about this have something similar?
