Yes, as a type. Also the Flood and the crossing of the Red Sea.
Now you qualify it as “a type,” and not a direct reference to baptism itself.
Your verbal gymnastics are dizzying, annalex. I prefer the mystery of Christ over the mystifying logic you display.
I don’t have time for your games.
Wouldn’t the flood water be considered purification, in the sense that God had to pass judgement against man for his wickedness? And if that’s the case, it’s a judgement, not a baptism?
But what you’re supposing in Ezekiel is not baptism, but a cleansing, changing their hearts.
