If they were already saved then they already had the gift of the Holy Ghost
Peter did not say "and you need to get the Holy Ghost"

Interesting Prax. So you believe after they've repented and have been baptized they are gifted with the Spirit?
I get your point about the "what must we do (to be saved)?" Though the text doesn't state the implied parentheses, it's clear they had guilt and asked for action for the guilt, which makes sense to be salvation.
Question: the disciples of John that the Apostle met, where he asked "have you received the power since you believed" -- does this support the Holy Ghost as an empowerment to witness or that the disciples of John were not saved?
