I am saved by the precious blood which Jesus shed from the cross and from my baptism which also forgives me of my sins. So YES I am a born again Christian Roman Catholic.

I am happy to hear you are a born again Christian...But as I pointed out with scripture, baptism doesn't clean you up...It can't take away your past sins...Being born again, born from above takes care of the past sins, and future ones as well...

While it is true that baptism does not take away your sins, Peter tells us in Acts 2 that we are to repent and be baptized in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of our sins.

Now when they heard this, they were cut to the heart, and they asked Peter and the other Apostles, “What are we to do, my brothers?” Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, for the forgiveness of your sins; and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. For the promise is made to you and to your children and to all those far off, whomever the Lord our God will call.”
