Here's their problem, metmom.

"Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism WE ARE FREED FROM SIN and REBORN as sons of God; we become members of Christ, areincorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission: "Baptism is the sacrament of regeneration through water in the word." - Catechism of the Catholic Church.[1213].

So through this water baptism of the RCC two effects of this baptism are stated: The removal of original sin, and the reception of sanctifying grace.

Who needs Christ's shed blood for forgiveness when the magical holy water will do the job? /s

And I ask again, then why did Christ have to die for our sins, Natural Law?

Maybe that is why they view his death on the cross as a tragedy instead of a victory
