the new covenant did not begin until the death of Christ.That having been said, Christ (God) can do anything and to attribute one persons salvation to your opinion is a little questionable..

Dismas was baptized by desire. Under dire circumstances, he acknowledged Jesus Christ for Who He was and is and rebuked the bad thief for his lack of respect. Others were baptized by dying for the Faith but not having been baptized by water. This is known as Baptism by Blood. Both of these doctrines are not as well understood by many in the pews as once they were but they are true nonetheless.

No, this is NOT an invitation to a game of Scriptural Jeopardy.

It is a very dangerous thing to try to establish a general rule from an exception, particularly since you are not a thief dying on a cross next to Jesus.

The Good Thief expressed remorse and received a Baptism of Desire.

Have you ever read about a Baptism of Blood?

A Baptism of Desire?

Most of us are familiar with a Baptism of water and the Holy Spirit.
