BUT I insist that the only "unless"(sbsolute necessity) involves repentence.

Yet Jesus's words contradict you: He who believes and is baptized will be saved.

If A then B does not imply If not A then not B(inverse). It does imply If not B then not A(contrapositive).

If you believe and are baptized then you are saved


Does not imply

If you do not believe and are not baptized then you are not saved.


unless A then not B is linguistically equivalent to if -A then -B .

if B then A is logically implied.(contrapositive)

unless you repent then you are not saved.

is equivalent to

If you do not repent then you are not saved

Which implies

If you are saved then you repented.
