Propitiation doesn't mean God poured out His wrath on His Son; it means that because of Jesus' sacrifice on the cross the wrath of God that would have been poured out on us believers in the form of us being sent to Hell when we die was set aside.
Remission doesn't mean the sins we committed before we came to faith have been passed over; it means something has been done to make it so they aren't accounted to us anymore. When we are baptized for the remission of our sins, that is how we contact the blood of Christ which has made it possible for those sins to be remitted.
