Original sin means you're born a sinner. So you can't go to heaven unless you apologize to Jesus for being born a sinner.

This works out because otherwise heaven would be full of all the crying babies and sick kids God kills as part of his master plan.

Atleast according to medieval thought, baptism was really the only necessary thing to clear someone of original sin, so it was considered extremely important that someone was baptized basically as soon as they were born, and actually performing baptism was ruled to not require a priest, midwives for instance could batpize a newborn right away and that was seen as valid. A priest was only really necessary for confirming the baptism, but that wasn't seen as necessary for salvation, it was just a ritual act of becoming part of the church.
