Original sin can only be removed by baptism.
Original Sin
According to the Catholics, one is born a sinner. The sin of being born is called "the original sin". The meaning of baptism is to 'cleanse' a baby from its original sin.

What baptism are you talking about? Infant baptism? Baptism of believers? Well the answer is much the same. Nothing happens to your sin when you are baptized. If you are a believer your sin is already dealt with before you get baptized.

Infant baptism??? well there is nothing in the Bible that teaches infant baptism.
Baptism is a welcoming into the church of Christ and it cleanses the soul of the original sin.
