Slogan theology - like Once Saved Always Saved - is always going to fall far short of the mark. Nobody really understands a slogan the "right" way because slogans are not really coherent. They are supposed to be short pithy summaries of some more complex thing. If Calvinism is reduced to Once...

Honest answer. In our baptismal liturgy the parents and God parents of the child are asked "What do you ask of God's Church for <name of child>.?" and the normal answer is "baptism" but alternatives are available and for your question...
1 Peter 3:21* which also after a true likeness doth now save you, even baptism, not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the interrogation of a good conscience toward God, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ;
