What does ceremonially washing someone matter in terms of actual sin? there is literally no one who who has not made a single mistake.

Its not ceremoniously its more like figuratively.

like in that song...

"what can wash away our sin? nothing but the blood of Jesus."

You dont literally bathe in the blood of Jesus that would be sick. You have to recognize your need for a saviour and repent from your sin and follow Gods word and everything in it to the best of your ability. Hence the "if" in the hypothetical scenario.

So simply by becoming Christian all previous wrongs are righted? That sounds like some moral bribery if ever I saw it. Not righted. Forgiven I don't intend to join this debate at all, but I'm Catholic, and it doesn't work like that for us. You have to actually feel sorrow for past sins and confess those sins as a Catholic, you can't just say you believe and that's enough. That's the way it is for us, anyway, it's clearly different for some of the other groups.

I just wanted to clarify that it isn't like that for every group.
