We are born into it, this maybe something that Catholics believe that some of the other denominations might not believe. Honestly don’t know.

That is why many denominations only have the baptism when you get older, because they believe you have to choose.

We believe you choose to leave the flock, but you are created in it.

Even Jews, Muslims, etc.. have it .. the original sin is there .. it is up to them though to embrace the gift of Jesus to seek forgiveness. Being Saved and being part of the children of God ... his flock are two different things.

The only way you couldn’t be of God’s Creation if you weren’t descended from Adam and Eve and there was an alternative family tree.

If you have ever heard the saying, “we are all God’s Children” that is what is being alluded to.

Refer to the Parables of the Lamb that wanders off for the analogy, you were born but then wandered off, so the shepherd has to find you again and bring you back.

Anyways, I don’t believe that you get a choice, you are and you have chosen to leave the flock and wander off.
