Sure
Did you decide to ask the question, or did someone (some unknown force) MAKE you ask the question?

That my friend is an example you using your free will

Opps! NOT TRUE!

And not the teaching of theRRC

There are three kinds of Baptism:
1. By Water and The Holy Spirit
2. By Desire: If a person truly desires to be united with their Christ, and die "with" Christ, God who is "All -Just" will accept them, if for real reasons they are unable to be Baptized with water and the Spirit.
3. By Blood. If one so desires to be united with Chris that they die literally for Christ, God accepts that as baptism into His Church.

God bless,
