Mistaken Conversion to a Eastern Catholic Church

[Vico]

Ok, I think we can come to some agreement here. So in your view, the following would be “free game”:

• “free Church” Christians, Pentecostals, and Unitarians without valid baptism
• Mormons
• non-Christians
• Jehovah’s witnesses

My fellow Orientals and Easterns, it looks like we have a GREAT field for missionary work! Let’s get at it!!!

Note: I personally agree with the previous posters (particularly brothers Tyler and Formosus) that ALL non-apostolic Christians are “free game,” with or without valid baptism

Anybody can be received into the Catholic Church at an eastern parish, it is only the operation of the canon law (ipso iure) that makes the validly baptised ascribed to a particular Church different, sometimes, than the one they are received in.

**Invalid baptism: **
• Apostolic Church
• Bohemian Free Thinkers
• Christadelphians
• Christian Community (Rudolf Steiner)
• Christian Scientists
• Church of Divine Science
• Church of the Universal Brotherhood (Doukhobors)
• Jehovah’s Witnesses
• Masons (no baptism at all)
• Mormons
• Church of the New Jerusalem (New Church of Mr. Emmanuel Swedenborg)
• Pentecostal Churches
• Peoples Church of Chicago
• Reunification Church (Moonies)
• Quakers, Society of Friends (no baptism)
• Salvation Army
• Shakers (no baptism)
• Unitarians
**Doubtful baptism: **
• Mennonite
• Moravian
• Pentecostal
• Seventh Day Adventist

I would just like to add to Vicos list that there are quite a few non-denominational "Bible Churchs"(in my rural neck of the woods anyhow) that don`t even believe Baptism is necessary at all.
