He actually purchased us.

He actually settled the debt that was against us too

Col 2:13 And you, who were dead in your trespasses and the uncircumcision of your flesh, God made alive together with him, having forgiven us all our trespasses,
Col 2:14 by canceling the record of debt that stood against us with its legal demands. This he set aside, nailing it to the cross.

Do you believe that newborns are redeemed?

Do you mean "purchased"? See the problem we have is what we discussed earlier, is how are we using "redeemed".

There are different words used to translate to "redeem". One means "to rescue" and another refers to a purchase and still the other refers to a ransom paid

The idea of redemption in the Old Testament takes its start from the thought of property (Lev_25:26; Rth_4:4 ff). Money is paid according to law to buy back something which must be delivered or rescued (Num_3:51; Neh_5:8). From this start the word “redemption” throughout the Old Testament is used in the general sense of deliverance. God is the Redeemer of Israel in the sense that He is the Deliverer of Israel (Deu_9:26; 2Sa_7:23; 1Ch_17:21; Isa_52:3). The idea of deliverance includes deliverance from all forms of evil lot, from national misfortune (Isa_52:9; Isa_63:9; compare Luk_2:38), or from plague (Psa_78:35, Psa_78:52), or from calamity of any sort (Gen_48:16; Num_25:4, Num_25:9). Of course, the general thought of the relation of Israel to God was that God had both a claim upon Israel (Deu_15:15) and an obligation toward Israel (1Ch_17:21; Psa_25:22). Israel belonged to Him, and it was by His own right that He could move into the life of Israel so as to redeem Israel. On the other hand, obligation was upon Him to redeem Israel.
In the New Testament the idea of redemption has more a suggestion of ransom. Men are held under the curse of the law (Gal_3:13), or of sin itself (Rom_7:23 f). The Redeemer purchases their deliverance by offering Himself as payment for their redemption (Eph_1:7; 1Pe_1:18).
