At a Protestant funeral the other day, we were told that the sacrament of Baptism is not complete until after death. I found that this was Luther's position: “This sign of Baptism, the dying or drowning of sin is not fulfilled completely in this life." Is this not contrary to the Catholic teaching on Baptism?
