Jesus was crucified and died literally. Baptism is not literally buried it is symbolic. All must come through the cross experience before water baptism.
There are people who have been water baptized yet are not saved because they wanted to be baptized because mommy or daddy was.
Yet there are people who came to Jesus from conviction of their sin and repented and had a meeting at the cross who were saved yet not water baptized.
Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection, and faith in that is what saves you. Baptism is publicly stating you are obedient to that truth.
In obedience to Christ, we get baptized. AS he was Baptized.
