If in the phrase you bolded the apostle Paul actually meant what you want him to mean that people are born in sin, then the apostle contradicted Christ's words in the parables of the lost sheep, lost coin, and lost son (Luke 15:1-24), that people start out life NOT lost.
Before the sheep got lost, it was with its shepherd in the sheepfold.
Before the coin was lost, it was with its owner.
Before the son went lost, he was at home with his father.
So with us. We start out in life NOT lost. And to be NOT lost is to be In Christ. But we all sinned. That's why are enjoined to repent (Luke 13:3, 5).
