The age of accountability, according to many Christians, is an age below which children are not accountable for their own sins or old enough to make a faith decision and are therefore automatically saved if they die before that age.
The concept is not directly supported in the Bible, and there is no generally-accepted age among those who hold to the teaching (usually those who do believe it is specific to the person); some Christians deny that it even exists.[1]
