> Seller warrants that to the best of their knowledge, no existing claims or liens exist on the transferred Soul and agrees that any prior commitments that are in their power to dissolve are formally dissolved by the formation and signing of this agreement.

Does this mean that Christians would be bound to being baptized prior to selling their soul?

Christians can’t “sell” their souls as it is a category mistake in the first place.

And even if you could “sell” it, in the sense that you could reject God and thus one’s own good and choose instead your own self-destruction (hence the irrationality of evil), you could always repent and receive the sacrament of penance. Therefore, no such contract would be binding.

Presumably if they got baptized after selling their soul you could sue them for damages...
