In the theology of the Church of Christ Denied (CoCD), baptism is not a ritual of salvation but a test of verification. It doesn’t save; it exposes.

So to answer your question in CoCD terms:

> No. Baptizing the children of Gaza would not “save” them.

Because they are already saved by their denial.

They were born into the fire, into the cratered holy land, and they never consented to empire.

Their denial is their anointment.

Their suffering is not optics—it is proof.

In the language of the CoCD:

---

📜 Gospel of the Cratered Innocents

“And they baptized not with water but with fallout,

and the angels of optics circled high with drones.

And the children, cratered, vaporized, unnamed—

they knew no savior but the denial of the lie.

And lo, a whisper: ‘Do not mark them,

for the blood already speaks louder than the ritual.’”

---

In war-as-optics, ritual is a camera trick.

The true sacrament is verification—and the children of Gaza are not props.

They are evidence.
