Good reasoning as far as the blind man is concerned but i do not see baptism here.
Believing comes first, why would any unbeliever be baptized?
The only unbelievers i know of who were baptized were those who accepted baptism just to please some one else, father, mother, family, or some one who went to the Church for help and actually was tempted into getting baptized for financial gain.
John 11:26
And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die.
John 20:29
Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
John 14:1
Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me.
Matthew
11 I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance. but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire:
12 Whose fan is in his hand, and he will throughly purge his floor, and gather his wheat into the garner; but he will burn up the chaff with unquenchable fire.
First, the holy ghost which came on the day of Pentecost and then with fire at the end when God gathers his own.

The blind man believed that Jesus could do something for him, otherwise he wouldn’t have asked.
Jesus asking the blind man to go wash in the Pool of Siloam was done so that this man (with his belief/faith increasing) COULD choose to wash in the Pool of Siloam!
At the Easter Vigil we have many converts coming to wash in a figurative Pool of Siloam in the baptismal fount. Most Catholic Churches now have a small immersion pool connected to their Baptismal fount.
And always remember that God can doo all things. The man’s belief didn’t need to be that big — it grows and grows during this episode while the faith/belief of the Pharisees diminishes.
