Is the sanctuary the same as the meeting place in a Catholic Church?
The sanctuary is the part of the church which contains the altar.
The table in the most sacred part of a church is called?
In Protestant and evangelical churches it is usually called the 'communion table'; in Roman Catholic churches, the 'altar'. This difference is because Catholic teaching views the bread and wine as a re-presentation of the same sacrifice of Christ at Calvary, with the elements changing substance to the real body and blood of Christ in every respect except appearance; hence the table is an 'altar' of sacrifice. In Protestant traditions since the Reformation the elements of bread and wine are viewed in a variety of other ways, including those which emphasise their symbolic and memorial nature, or to be the occasion of a real but spiritual presence of Christ; hence 'communion table' rather than 'altar'. 'Higher' forms of Protestant churches, including those in the 'Anglo-Catholic' tradition, place a premium on Catholic continuity, and are closer in practice, doctrine and terminology to the Roman Catholic position. Without taking note of the distinctions above 'altar' has become part of popular usage, especially in terms like 'altar call'.
