unbaptised

Without holy water

Unbaptised (also unbaptized) describes someone who has not received the Christian sacrament of baptism.

The term appears most often in religious contexts discussing the spiritual status of those outside the church: the fate of unbaptised infants, He died unbaptised.

Some Christian traditions hold that the unbaptised cannot enter heaven, a doctrine that has softened considerably in modern theology.
