The body and blood of Christ received in remembrance of His death till He comes....most believe Christ is actually really present there with them but that the elements are merely symbolic, as opposed to Roman Catholics who believe the wafer actually becomes His flesh and the wine His physical blood (transubstantiation)

Can a protestant divorcee receive Holy Communion if you are married to a divorced Catholic?

Roman Catholic AnswerThe only people who may receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church are Catholics in good standing, who have been to confession at least once in the last year and have no mortal sin on their souls; they must have made their first Holy Communion and be fasting for one hour. A protestant, regardless of their marital status would never be eligible to receive Holy Communion until they had converted.


Who can receive communion in a protestant church?

To begin with, neither Catholics nor Orthodox may receive communion in a Protestant church. Most Protestant churches allow them to, but the Catholic and Orthodox churches do not allow their respective members to receive in a Protestant church. That said, the short answer is: Protestants may receive communion in a Protestant church. The long answer is: It varies from one Protestant denomination to the next, and sometimes one congregation to the next. The United Methodists, Episcopal Church, and the Evangelical Lutheran Church have open communion, and that pretty much means, if you're a baptized Christian, you may receive. There are others that fit this category. The Lutheran Church Missouri Synod practices closed communion, only those of their own group (and possibly WELS Lutherans but I'm not sure) may receive. Baptists vary. Many have open communion, and some just keep it among Baptists of their own denomination or group. As you can see, it is not an easy question. So my final advice is to call the church office, or ask an usher or the pastor at a convenient time before the service you are attending. That way you'll know what's appropriate for that service.
