Serval questions have come up in my research on John the Baptist.

When John the Baptist lept in his mother’s womb, is he being baptized? Mary is the only person besides Christ to be connived without original sin, but was John born without original sin?

Furthermore, when we’re baptized, we’re being washed from the effects of original sin, rihgt?
 
I think scripture is silent on both of your questions.

When John leaped in the womb of Elizabeth, the meaning is straightforward, to indicate that even in the womb, John somehow sensed that Jesus was near.

The Church teaches that everyone, except Adam, Eve, Mary, and Jesus were born with original sin.

Baptism takes away the guilt of original sin, but I think we suffer the effects of original sin all our lives.
 
Also, St. Elizabeth was graced by the Holy Spirit to know this was not just an ordinary movement of the unborn baby, but had spiritual and deliberate significance.
 
Luke 1:15 regarding John the Baptist, “For he shall be great before the Lord,he shall drink no wine or strong drink,and shall be filled with the holy spirit even from his mothers womb”. Now scripture tells us that from when he was in his mothers womb God joined with him and every Christian knows that God doesnt join with someone unclean,stained so it seems that other than Jesus and Mary,John the Baptist was to born without original sin.

I have to state that the answer below is not only philosophical, but religious.

God does not joined anyone. She is the one whom gives you birth.

Clean and Unclean, similar to Good and Evil, they are bulit inside. The power of God comes from birth. She is clean if you are clean. If not, vice versa. She is everywhere.

Jesus and Mary. Souls inside, the Light inside. Jesus from light. Mary from birth.
Mary is not the one you pray if you protest.

God is she, she is God. Protests are right, but some are wrong.

Mary is only a name, so is God.

Philosophy is also religious. Truth is always one.

God Bless.
