Good question.

Those who are baptized at 8 years will all sin at some point during their life. If they choose to have faith in Christ and repent with real intent the time will come when they will receive a remission of their sins.

“Remission of sins” is the scriptural phrase that describes the primary purpose of baptism: to obtain God’s forgiveness for breaking his commandments and receive a newness of life.” Encyclopedia of Mormonism

It certainly would not be the primary objective of baptism for them.
