You are probably wondering which John I am talking about. It's the one that baptized. I learned something today I didn't know. Tradition says he was born without original sin. The magisterium of the church doesn't pronounce this as doctrine so I guess RBB and TC may choose not to accept it if they want.

So which two other persons full in this category I hear you ask. Both Jesus and Mary were conceived without sin. John had to wait until Mary visited Elizabeth to get the Holy Spirit and move in her tummy.
In the Catholic calendar only three birthdays are celebrated. Jesus, Mary and John. Most of the rest of the feast days are for saints entering heaven i.e. dying.
Have fun and carry your glasses cross.
"So which two other persons full in this category I hear you ask" - you might have heard it this way but neither Richard nor I would have knowingly written it like that.
