re: Granting dying wishes vs going against a parents wishes.

---

She called me this morning asking if we would consider baptizing our children before she dies.

If that's really what she asked (consideration), then you've done that and can give an answer of no.

If that's not good enough for her, there's no reason to abandon the philosophy you've employed in your family just because she's selfishly utilizing her situation as leverage.

Conceding and doing a 180 forcing your kids to begin that process is a move they won't appreciate at all now or in the future. Particularly if you've laid out the philosophy to them directly, you'd just be confusing them. Hopefully they wouldn't hold it against you in the future, because unlike gma you'll have to live with them for a while.
