Christ said you have to be baptised to be saved. The protestants I met always quote that the thief wasn't baptised but not all of us are in the thief's position

I then tell them but Christ said to follow Him and he was baptised how can you follow Him and not be baptised?

About your mother and sister situation, even in the old times during the persecution the pagan parents were against their children becoming Christian some were even martyred by their own father or mother so no not all parents guide their children to do the right thing. They do it accordingly to what they know and think is best. So you just keep going towards the faith and research into it. It is not good to discuss with them as at this point in time it be not good.
