16And now, why do you delay? Rise and be baptized, and [a]by calling upon His name, wash away your sins.
Footnotes:
Acts 22:16 Charles B. Williams, The New Testament: A Translation in the Language of the People: Circumstantial participle expressing manner or means.
The connection is between calling on the name of the Lord and the washing away of sins, not baptism.
