I once had a long discussion with a Papist apologist on exactly how sinful we are

Sounds like we're all equally sinful, since all sins are alike to God (see 1 John 5:16-17) and we're all "constituted" sinful in Adam.

Doesn't sound like y'all think it's really a very big deal to me.

You’re joking right? Not a very big deal? I’m not even going down this road, from Genesis to Revelation, God has spoken about sin. It was such a “big deal” in fact, that God sent His only begotten Son to die for our sin. Please don’t tell me that I don’t think it’s really a very big deal. It cost Christ everything.

Context is everything:

1 John 5:14-21 NASB

This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us in whatever we ask, we know that we have the requests which we have asked from Him. If anyone sees his brother committing a sin not leading to death, he shall ask and God will for him give life to those who commit sin not leading to death. There is a sin leading to death; I do not say that he should make request for this.

All unrighteousness is sin, and there is a sin not leading to death. We know that no one who is born of God sins; but He who was born of God keeps him, and the evil one does not touch him. We know that we are of God, and that the whole world lies in the power of the evil one. And we know that the Son of God has come, and has given us understanding so that we may know Him who is true; and we are in Him who is true, in His Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God and eternal life. Little children, guard yourselves from idols.
