What are you waiting for? Get up and be baptized. Have your sins washed away by calling on the name of the Lord.’
Amplified
And now, why do you delay? Rise and be baptized, and by calling upon His name, wash away your sins.

I'm not sure what you're trying not to prove but all of these translations link baptism and calling on the name of the Lord to a washing away of sins. Something that one steppers tell us happens at repentance.
