Baptism itself, not merely the oil, cleanses from original sin. When the water is poured on the person being baptized, and the baptismal formula is pronounced, "I baptize you in the name...", then "grace" is said to be poured forth from God into that individual's soul to restore its status as a child of God. The oil used during baptism is the "Sacred Chrism" which signifies the participation of the one baptized in the prophetic, priestly, and kingly offices of Christ.
