Can you back up your implication with fact or is this just more of the rhetoric we have become accustomed to?

Of course, it is more rhetorical than fact. However, the point being that it is not baptism that saves. If it was baptism that saves us then every baptized hipocrite sitting on our pews are saved. The focus as been undually overemphasized on baptism apart from "denying self...taking up the cross and follow me."
But, your correction stands. Sorry that I was misunderstood.
