No, the parents are not to answer for the unbelief attitude of the children, neither the children for that of the parents. (Ezekiel 18:20)

Jews do not believe by faith but by sight aka understanding. At least, that's how I do. If I do not understand something, I can't believe it.
Some Jews believe in gravity even though they can't see it.

But we understand from the resource of Isaac Newton who explained the role of gravity in the world. Besides, we all know about the effects of gravity. We can prove the existence of gravity ourselves. Therefore, we don't need faith to believe in gravity.
Do we need faith to believe in creation? Or is it self evident?
Gravity is a law, where did it come from? Did it come from a Lawgiver, a Creator?
Um, indeed, I'm certain they all believe in Gravity.
They do know not to spit against the wind or jump off a high place.
Jesus was Jewish and He knew better than to jump from the temple peek.
Jamie,
You are almost as stubborn and sarcastic as me! [emoji3]

Because of the Unique baptism of course. (Play on words)
Or more humorously, even the eunuch had the pair to get literally and spiritually dunked.
Acts 8:26-40
Philip and the Ethiopian Eunuch
26 Now an angel of the Lord said to Philip, “Rise and go toward the south[a] to the road that goes down from Jerusalem to Gaza.” This is a desert place. 27 And he rose and went. And there was an Ethiopian, a eunuch, a court official of Candace, queen of the Ethiopians, who was in charge of all her treasure. He had come to Jerusalem to worship 28 and was returning, seated in his chariot, and he was reading the prophet Isaiah. 29 And the Spirit said to Philip, “Go over and join this chariot.” 30 So Philip ran to him and heard him reading Isaiah the prophet and asked, “Do you understand what you are reading?” 31 And he said, “How can I, unless someone guides me?” And he invited Philip to come up and sit with him. 32 Now the passage of the Scripture that he was reading was this:
“Like a sheep he was led to the slaughter
and like a lamb before its shearer is silent,
so he opens not his mouth.
33 In his humiliation justice was denied him.
Who can describe his generation?
For his life is taken away from the earth.”
34 And the eunuch said to Philip, “About whom, I ask you, does the prophet say this, about himself or about someone else?” 35 Then Philip opened his mouth, and beginning with this Scripture he told him the good news about Jesus. 36 And as they were going along the road they came to some water, and the eunuch said, “See, here is water! What prevents me from being baptized?” 38 And he commanded the chariot to stop, and they both went down into the water, Philip and the eunuch, and he baptized him. 39 And when they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord carried Philip away, and the eunuch saw him no more, and went on his way rejoicing. 40 But Philip found himself at Azotus, and as he passed through he preached the gospel to all the towns until he came to Caesarea.

No, we do not need faith to believe in the existence of God and that He caused the universe to exist. It is quite self-evident and confirmed by Physics and the law of Causality. Gravity was caused as an accident of matter through natural laws as a result of the existence of the universe which was caused by the Creator.

Didn't answer the question, Ben. How does God determine if an infant who dies is saved or lost?

Faith is in the Law, Ben! And he believed in the LORD; and he counted it to him for righteousness. Gen. 15:6 Can't blame Paul for that!
