Not sure about Protestants but I think they're an offshoot of Catholics. If so you are married to them forever regardless if you say no. lol😉

Some of the early protestant denominations kept infant and child baptisms when they broke away from the Catholic Church. You were probably really baptized.

It's more of a promise made by the family to raise the child according to the church's teachings. Actual Baptism involves personal dedication along with submersion. You couldn't possibly have dedicated yourself at 6 months.

I agree with you that is impossible, see my cousin was a year old on August 9, 1968 and I was 6 months old she is 6 months older than me but in different years

Infant baptism is standard in such Protestant denominations as the Episcopal Church and Presbyterianism. If you were baptized in such a faith, by an ordained minister, then you were certainly "really" baptized according to that faith's rites and doctrines. I was raised in the Episcopal Church, the US branch of the Anglican Communion. It does not refer to baptism as "dedication," though sometimes people call it "christening".
