Yes, it can be accepted by Protestants or Catholics. Though it is considered gender-inclusive and accused of being "modernist" I don't find the NRSV problematic itself (I'm also talking as a conservative evangelical).

Some fundamentalist Protestants will say that the NRSV is a tool of the devil. I object to that sentiment. Though there are some problematic interpretations in the NRSV it is not a bible version that will lead people astray in the faith (unlike the heretical New World Translation).

Thus, I would say that the NRSV is acceptable to use for preaching, devotion, and study. However, I would also suggest you check out other better translations like the ESV, NIV, NASB, and HCSB.
