Nope and Nope. But that has nothing to do with water. Its does, however, have everything to do with obedience. Water didn't save Noah, nor did water heal Naaman. Even Hebrews states "BY faith, Noah..." Faith (obeying and responding to the word) is what saves us. Not water. Water baptism is our response of obedience for what Jesus did for us at repentance.
