The Catholic answer is we are all born with Original since due to Eve with Adam in the Garden of Eden.
In Christianity in general it is often said that mankind has a sin nature.
Christ came as a sacrifice against the sins of Adam and Eve and against all our sins. He is the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. If we accept Him as our Savior, despite our sin nature we are forgiven.
Doesn't mean we should PARADE our sins and expect them to be forgiven, but if we are heartily sorry and are really attempting to sin no more, that is taken with the intent it was offered and though we are not worthy on our own merit to receive the Kingdom of Heaven, we get to slide in the side door with Christ like adopted kids.
Of course Jews had the front door key already! ;-)
That is an over simplified version of a Catholic view on what you asked IMO.
That being said, I have met some fine people who believe all kinds of things
(Muslims the exception IMO) and despite the sin nature of man, some people are really nice most of the time.
