May Greek Orthodox people receive Holy Communion in the Catholic Church?
Yes, they may receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church. Members of the Orthodox Churches are the only non-Catholics who may do so.Orthodox view:No, the Orthodox Church does not allow its members to receive Holy Communion in any other church. Whilst the Roman Catholics allow the Orthodox to do this, the Orthodox themselves are not allowed to partake, as they are not in communion with the Roman Catholics. Perhaps this situation may change in the future, but for now it is not permitted.

Can a catholic receive communion in Greek orthodox church?
Oh, dude, technically speaking, it's a bit of a gray area. Like, in general, the Greek Orthodox Church has guidelines about who can receive communion, and typically, they prefer you to be a member of their church. So, like, if you're a Catholic popping in for a visit, they might not be too keen on you joining in on the communion party. But hey, if you're really craving that Eucharist, maybe give them a heads up and see what they say.
Do Orthodox Jews allow cremation?

Why does the Catholic church not allow other Christians to partake in communion?
The Catholic Church does not allow non-Catholics to partake in communion because of differences in beliefs about the Eucharist. Catholics believe in transubstantiation, the belief that the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Christ during the Mass. Other Christian denominations have different beliefs about the Eucharist, such as consubstantiation or symbolic representation. Allowing non-Catholics to receive communion would imply a unity of belief that does not exist, according to Catholic doctrine.

Can Anglicans marry in a Greek orthodox church?
Generally this is not allowed, as the Orthodox Church only accepts marriage between Orthodox Christians as the correct way. However, especially in Western countries, some Orthodox Churches will allow a mixed marriage to take place, for example between an Orthodox and a Catholic or Protestant, so long as the couple agree to baptize and raise any children in the Orthodox Faith.
Do Protestants get confirmed and receive Holy Communion.?

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.
Can a non-Catholic receive Holy Communion at a Catholic service?
Generally, the answer is no. However, certain circumstances may allow for it. 1) Roman Catholics who do not have access to a Roman Catholic Mass may receive communion from Orthodox churches. However, most Orthodox churches have rules that they can not give Roman Catholics communion. 2) In danger of death, a Roman Catholic can receive communion from another church with valid sacraments, for example, any of the Orthodox churches. 3)Roman Catholics can not receive communion while attending Protestant religious services.generally no, since they have not been baptized in the faith of that particular Christian group.
