How do Protestant Catholic and Greek Orthodox religious images compare?
Most Protestant's tend not to use imagery because they consider it idolatrous. However it wouldn't be too out of the ordinary for a Protestant to have an image of Jesus in his/her home. Catholic's tend to use statuary and images such as the Sacred Heart of Jesus, The Immaculate Heart of Mary, and various Saints. Eastern Orthodox, and by extension Eastern Catholics, almost exclusively use Icon's (also spelled "Ikon").

Protestants by definition protest some Catholic teachings. The various branches of Protestantism broke away from the Catholic Church in the 1500s.

Can greek orthodox have communion in coptic?
Unfortunately not, as the Eastern Orthodox Church (which includes Greek Orthodox) is not in communion with the Coptic Church for now. The Coptic Church is part of the 'Oriental Orthodox' or 'Non-Chalcedonian' group of Churches. There were moves in recent years to unite the various groups, but this has not happened yet.
Can a catholic receive communion in Greek orthodox church?
No they cannot. The Orthodox Chruch and Catholic Church are not in communion with one another and are not able to receive the Eucharist at other churches legitmately. -UPDATE- In the past few years this practice has been changed. Orthodox believers can now receive communion in a Roman Catholic Church and Roman Catholics can now receive communion in an Orthodox Church, however either should only be done in a time of necessity. Great strides are being made in bringing the two churches back together again as it was in the beginning. Catholics will give communion to an Orthodox but an Orthodox is not supposed to take communion anywhere but in the Orthodox Church. I have yet to see communion given to a Catholic in an Orthodox church. If you are not baptised Orthodox you are not given the Holy Mystery in the Orthodox Church. In my church, the Priest will not give communion to anyone unless they have had confession, and will certainly not give communion to ANYONE, not even a Catholic, if they are not Orthodox. It is not allowed.
Are there any non-Catholic Christian saints?

What are the characteristics of the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church?
There is no Roman Catholic Church, this is a misnomer that arose after the protestant revolt in England, it is just the Catholic Church. Although there are theological differences between the two churches, there are also broad areas of doctrinal agreement. These include joint acceptance of the decisions of the seven ecumenical councils of the undivided Church; namely the Council of Nicea, the First Council of Constantinople, the Councils of Ephesus and Chalcedon, the Second and Third Council of Constantinople and the Second Council of Nicaea. The primary characteristic that makes them different is obedience to the successor of St. Peter: the Pope. The various Orthodox Churches left communion with the Catholic Church in the 11th century over various political issues, although since that time, they have gone to theological issues to try and make the split look more necessary, theologically. Liturgically, there is no difference whatsoever as when the Eastern Rites split, they split in half, for instance there is still a Greek Uniate Rite in union with the Holy Father, along with a Greek Orthodox Church. Both use exactly the same liturgy. And so it is with most of the Orthodox Churches, they are all a split from an Eastern Rite within the Catholic Church, thus they still maintain a valid priesthood, and valid sacraments.
What is an eastern priest?
There are various rites in the Catholic Church. This means primarily that there are various ways to celebrate the liturgy, though the different rites have their own set of laws and disciplines in other areas as well, such as the rules for fasting and abstinence during lent. A priest of the eastern rite is a Catholic priest who is a member of the eastern rather than the latin rite (the rite the majority of Catholics belong to).
