Please feel free to call me Matthew.
First, you did not offer any comment on Ps. 51:5, where the Psalmist's sin is directly traced back to his conception in the womb of his mother.
Secondly, it is simply false to say that Eve is never mentioned in the Pauline corpus. 1 Tim. 2 specifically mentions her transgression, and does so in the context of continuing ramifications for female behaviour and salvation.
Thirdly, you are still confounding imputation with corruption -- legal guilt and original sin. Our guiltiness is the result of one sin alone -- Adam's first sin. Our fallen nature is inherited from fallen parents -- that which is born of the flesh is flesh.
