I'm well aware of the doctrine. I'm disputing your claim that most Christians believe people are damned only for original sin.
Ok, putting aside the Protestants:
The majority of Christians are Roman Catholics who blindly accept whatever the Vatican tells them. Maybe I shouldn't have said/implied most Christians believe because most of them are just going along with what the Church says.
But that's besides the point. Someone who isn't infected with a sinful nature can live without sinning. So such a person cannot be damned. Yet, the Church says we are regardless of whether we sin or not because of original sin. Hence, do what the Church tells you to be saved and all that shit.
