pilgrim,

Those pricked in their heart were not regenerate. They were terrified sinners. They were still seeking after works, "what shall we do?" Peter did not tell them to do anything because salvation is not of works. Instead, he says, "Repent and be baptized...for the remission of sins."KJV Peter did not say "repent for the remission of sins and then be baptized". Man's role in salvation is always passive, receiving regeneration, faith, and the forgiveness of sins through the means God has chosen: Word and Sacraments not through inner strivings or enlightenment.
