The Apostle Paul, BTW, explained how John the Baptist's baptism was to be believer's baptism, Acts of the Apostles 19:4.

Why then did they have to be baptized again? The answer...John's baptism was not believers baptism. Just like infant baptism is not believers baptism...

Acts 19:1-5 And it happened that while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul passed through the inland country and came to Ephesus. There he found some disciples. And he said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” And they said, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” And he said, “Into what then were you baptized?” They said, “Into John’s baptism.” And Paul said, “John baptized with the baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, Jesus.” On hearing this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.

Oh my goodness. All I can do is laugh at your suggestion.
Since the first believers baptism happened on Pentacost, we can rule out the thief.

So, you think the good thief was given a special grace of justification?

I think the sky is mauve. Does that make me right?
