changing pads/bleeding brakes?

changing pads/bleeding brakes?
I was just told that to push the pistons back into the calipers, I can loosen the bleed screw. Making it easier to push the pistons back in. (I have always just remove the brake MC cap and used c-clamp and just push the pistons back in, but told it was bad for something inside the MC to do it that way).
If I loosen the bleed screw, would that let air into the brake system causing me to have to bleed the brakes? (Making a 15 minute job of changing pads to twice as long, maybe even more especially if you have to bleed the brakes yourself)

Re: changing pads/bleeding brakes? (carblegal)
whenever you open the bleed screw without brake pressure air is gonna go in, you have to bleed em. just do it with the c clamp and push the piston back into it's bore.
