I knew I should have elucidated a little more on this post and I am sure the credo-baptist thing didn't help.

What I wanted to point out to John that since Lydia fell under the term God Fearer. She was probably a little more aware of the customs of the Jewish religion and as such understood the covenant nature of the baptism rite. That's all, nothing else meant or implied.

It was more of a response to John's statement about the ignorance of the gentiles when it came to such covenant terms. Now the Philippian jailer he more than likely wasn't a God Fearer and as such had no context to the baptism rite.

Exit stage left.
