In the Scripture below where it addresses ,walk in newness of life, is that addressing when we get to heaven or is it addressing the effect of baptism , that is being born again? Or maybe both?

Romans 6:3-4, Do you not know that all of us who have been baptized into Christ Jesus were baptized into his death? We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life.
 
Here is the commentary note from the Didache Bible:

'The Sacrament of Baptism is a sharing in the Death of Christ. This is graphically symbolized in Baptism by immersion: in going under the water, we “die” to our sins and then rise again out of the water to new life. We unite ourselves to his Death in hope of uniting ourselves also to his resurrection. For this reason, Baptism is the primary Sacrament of the forgiveness of sins. (CCC 730, 1213-1214, 1226-1249, 1270, 1708)
 
Here is some other scripture relevant to the subject of new life in Christ.

Galatians 2:20
“I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.”

2 Corinthians 5:17
“Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come”

John 5:24
Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.

Ezekiel 36:22-29

"Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord GOD: It is not for your sake, O house of Israel, that I am about to act, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations to which you came.
And I will vindicate the holiness of my great name, which has been profaned among the nations, and which you have profaned among them. And the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD, when through you I vindicate my holiness before their eyes.
I will take you from the nations and gather you from all the countries and bring you into your own land.
I will sprinkle clean water on you, and you shall be clean from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols I will cleanse you.
And I will give you a new heart, and a new spirit I will put within you. And I will remove the heart of stone from your flesh and give you a heart of flesh.
And I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes and be careful to obey my rules.
You shall dwell in the land that I gave to your fathers, and you shall be my people, and I will be your God.
And I will deliver you from all your uncleannesses. And I will summon the grain and make it abundant and lay no famine upon you.

Now. If we don’t walk in Newness of life now, we won’t get to heaven.
