so, do I understand correctly that God is saying basically, that if the 8 day old infant does not get himself circumcised, he's out?

In the old covenant that would be true Michele. But keep in mind that circumcision didn't necessarily mean that the child's heart was also circumcised too. A child could be circumcised have all the benefits of growing up in the covenant community and yet in his heart of hearts be a rebel against God completely unregenerate.
