I don’t think that the apostles became infallible after Jesus died. They constantly misunderstood what he said and did, and I don’t see any reason to think that changed after he died.
Apostles infallible?

Well, I think that there is some sort of confusion generated by the word 'apostle'.
I don't think that the disciples of Jesus misunderstood.
Paul (Saul) is known as an apostle .. becuse he had a change of heart, and became a follower
after Jesus' ascension.
It is very likely that Paul "misunderstood" some things .. because he was not a disciple.

By “apostles” I mean Paul and the twelve. In the gospels, all of the people who follow Jesus are called “disciples.”
(later) I see that possibly a few others are called “apostles,” and that one passage can be read as “disciples” meaning the twelve, so it isn’t as clear as I thought.

But there were not infallible even before the resurrection. Consider, that they were arguing who will be the first. But it does not annule the Divine Truth of the Gospel.
