A vocation does not have to be within the Church, anyone can have one. You can have a vocation to be a mom, dad, etc. Or you can be things within the Church.
I'm unsure as to how this specifically might relate to a religious question, but "vocation" is basically another word for "career" or "job." So, anyone who has ever had a job could be said to have had a "vocation." In the Catholic church "vocation" also refers to those who take a religious life - monks and nuns. Such a life is said to be their calling.

Yes, absolutely. The Roman Catholic church considers the marriage of any man and woman who are both baptized Christian, irregardless of specific faith, as being a sacramental marriage. This means it is allowed the supernatural graces by God to the couple who now have a vocation to leading each other to eternal life together. You may also want to check on the Polish National Catholic church. It may very well be in union with the Roman Catholic church which simply means the woman in this relationship is actually a Roman Catholic too.
Yes, but not unless the marriage is annulled. If the woman was Catholic and married by a Justice of the Peace with no church involvement, then the nullity is straightforward; however if she was married in a Catholic service the nullity is a long process; and there is no guarantee of acceptance as her past history will be under scrutiny.Roman Catholic AnswerIf you are asking what the question reads, then, no, you can not be accepted into the Catholic Church to be a nun - period. You can be accepted into the Catholic Church. After you have been a practicing Catholic for at least a year, you may discern a vocation to the religious life. If you have previously been married and divorced, that would have to be annulled as stated above, before you could proceed.
Most theistic religions believe that God calls His creatures to do certain things with their lives, so no, belief in vocations are not only a part of the Catholic Church. Additionally, Catholics believe that God created all people and has a plan (vocation) for each one, regardless of religion.
There is a Lutheran Church and a Catholic Church but no Lutheran Catholic Church.
