Catholicism vs. Biblical Christianity

No, just that death is a result of sin (sin's wages). If disease and illness lead to death without sin, but they are the result of Adam's sin, then you are agreeing with at least some of those who hold to an "original sin" construct.

The only issue I have is that they roll 'infant baptism" into it. Romans 5 is straight forward, the most of the Bible. There is original sin by Adam, and death to all because of it.

Agreed. It's as if the death of Christ only covers Adam's sin, or all past sins of the baby's ancestors, and the baby, as he grows, has to do penance to pay for the rest of his sins.
