Though, the idea that the Holy Spirit indwells the baby prior to Faith is not consistent with Scripture. It's not?
Luke 1:41
"And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit."

"And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit."Notice that the Holy Spirit came after the baby leaped?

Not every baby, like John the Baptist comes to earth in the spirit of Elijah. Elijah had so much of the Spirit that he bequeathed Elisha double, and I’m sure had plenty to spare. More than enough even to infuse Elizabeth. Or are you contending all of us come to earth in the Spirit of Elijah? If not, your thesis does not hold.

Yes, Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit. Doesn’t really say the baby was, although in John’s case, God could have done that.
