Do infants dying in infancy go to heaven or not?

All your reply means is that I have not been indoctrinated to "see" it and you have been indoctrinated to "see" it that way. The text however does not SAY what you "see".
The text is about lawbreaking (sin) and death (the consequence of sin). And when it says "Not imputed" that means, people did not know, or made no record of lawbreaking; neither was lawbreaking imputed to them, as it was after the law was given through Moses, when they broke the known and written law of God. Nevertheless everyone died. The text says the opposite of what you say - you say that sin was imputed to them and the text says that it was NOT imputed to them and the text goes on to observe that they died anyway, despite not lawbreaking themselves. They died because death is inherited, it is part of human nature now, we are by nature mortal in this world.

Aad Rom 5:13 does say , Sin / Hamartia , is in the Nominative Case , n the Singular .
IS / Ellogeo , is in the Present Tense , Passive Voice , in the Indicative Mood , in the Signular
NOT / is a Disjuncative Partile Negative meaning Neverrrrrrrr
INPUTED / Ellogeo , in the Present Tense , in the , Passive Voice , in the Indicative Mood , means you better believe it .
And why many would like to judged by LAW is Worst !
And if anyone is under the , do you have a alter for the Sacffises a real sheep and Leviticus 14 :1 , 25 thoigh 57 and
no Christian Assembly , that says they KEEP the Law .
Then in Romans 6:14 says that , For sin will not rule over you , , FOR you are not under the Law
but under Grace

There is no direct answer to the question on the basis of Divine Revelation.
We can, however, put our faith in the God who reveals Himself in Jesus as the One who suffered and died for the whole world; and whose love for the world means it is His will that all be saved.
I therefore trust entirely that God's love, kindness, mercy, and justice means we will discover a great many people in heaven, including those who died in the womb and in infancy.

The Catholic Church teaches that infants who die without baptism are entrusted to the mercy of God. While the traditional theological concept of limbo—a state where unbaptised infants neither experience heaven nor suffer punishment—was widely discussed, it was never an official doctrine of the Church.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 1261) states:
A 2007 document from the International Theological Commission, titled The Hope of Salvation for Infants Who Die Without Being Baptized, further explores this issue. It acknowledges that while baptism is the ordinary means of salvation, God's mercy is not bound by the sacraments, and there are theological reasons to hope that such infants may be saved.
The Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC 1261) states:
"As regards children who have died without Baptism, the Church can only entrust them to the mercy of God, as she does in her funeral rites for them. Indeed, the great mercy of God who desires that all should be saved, and Jesus' tenderness toward children, allow us to hope that there is a way of salvation for children who have died without Baptism."
