What does it take to be "washed in the blood"?

For debate:

1) What does it take to become "washed in the blood"? To be covered by Jesus sacrifice. Does being "bloodwashed" cover all one's sins, past present and future?

Just after the Lord's Prayer in the Sermon on the Mount Jesus said:

14.For if you forgive others their trespasses, your heavenly father will also forgive you, 15.but if you do not forgive others, neither will your Father forgive you.

.

2) In verse 15, did Jesus make an exception for those "washed in the blood"?

3) How do these verses from Matthew 6 fit with the Pauline doctrine of being "washed in the blood"?

Please answer any combination of the above.

Christ claimed to be the gate keeper. I think he is. So, faith in him, should keep the game open. As, faith in God would too.
