They become justified by faith so that they can approach a Holy God and be born again of the water and the Spirit.

All the Greek speaking folks could never believe that, because "forgiveness" and "remission" are the same word in the Greek texts. Justification of sinners requires forgiveness or "remission" of their sins, which takes place in baptism.
