I still think it takes far too much away from Baltar's arc to have him actually be a Cylon, it absolves him. Of course he could find out and then say 'you know what, I still did a really awful thing', but I think he's too much of a narcisist to come to that conclusions.

Was it you or Seema I was talking too when I said I suspect that Lee's words to Baltar, "I don't do these things for you" are going to be reversed and Baltar's going to say them to Lee before saving the universe?

Although I definitely think that sounds like something Ron would do :)

That's kind-of my point: he can only find out he's a Cylon *after* absolution becomes a moot point - in my theory, he stops seeking absolution and faces his actions head-on, accepting the blame and the guilt and whatnot and finding a way to work through it without using "God Loves Me" as an easy out. Only after that does he discover his true nature, because by that point it isn't about his self-interest or self-preservation at all.

they totally make out after Baltar says it!

*cough* where was I? Oh yeah. Baltar as cylon...I just, dislike the idea. I can see how they could justify it, but I still think it's a bit of a cop out.
