That depends on the individual. If they are damned, then yes they would have been better off dying as an infant (either baptized or not). But since infants have no merits of their own, any adult who is among the elect would have been worse off had he or she died in infancy.

Not the Catholic point of view concerning predestination.
No one is born damned. No one.
No one is “better off” dying.

That’s the point. If someone ends up being damned, then they would have been better off dying in infancy.

But that’s pointlessly speculative. You are invoking the god of the philosophers.
