Titus 3:5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
(MY NOTE: The term "washing of regeneration" is referring to spiritual regeneration/quickening, making you alive/born again. See...
Mikvah means a "pool" or "gathering" of fresh water. Mosaic law mandated many ceremonial water purification rituals/ablutions.
