A:

Saint Augustine identified 'original sin' as the consequence of the fall of man, but this was a view never accepted in the Greek-speaking east. It is a particularly Catholic teaching that all are born with original sin, which can only be washed away with baptism, and Protestant Churches give less recognition, if any, to original sin as a reason for baptism. The Orthodox Churches and Jews do not have the concept of original sin.
