Mormon allows his personal feelings to enter in to his condemnation of the practice. His reasoning behind such a dire condemnation is that the person who advocates baptism of little children misunderstands the atonement. Since the atonement is misunderstood, there is no proper faith, and certainly no accurate hope. The presumption of the need for infant baptism, and the teaching of that principle to parents whose children are so liable to die young is contrary to charity. For all of those reasons, Mormon does not consider such a person to be properly Christian.
