John Proctor's youngest child is not baptized because he and his wife, Elizabeth, have hesitations about the church and its practices, primarily due to the ongoing witch trials and the moral corruption they perceive in Salem. Proctor's skepticism about the church's authority and the validity of the trials makes him reluctant to baptize his child in a system he distrusts. This reflects Proctor's internal conflict and his desire to protect his family from the prevailing hysteria.
