Baptism makes an ontological change in a person. Ontological is the very essence of what you are, your being. You are a different being after being baptised then you were before and nothing can change that. Baptism makes you a child of God and capable of achieving heaven.
from The Catechism of the Catholic Church, 2nd edition:
1265 Baptism not only purifies from all sins, but also makes the neophyte "a new creature," an adopted son of God, who has become a "partaker of the divine nature," member of Christ and coheir with him, and a temple of the Holy Spirit.
1272 Incorporated into Christ by Baptism, the person baptized is configured to Christ. Baptism seals the Christian with the indelible spiritual mark (character) of his belonging to Christ. No sin can erase this mark, even if sin prevents Baptism from bearing the fruits of salvation. Given once for all, Baptism cannot be repeated
