Was I wrong to tell an unbaptized person she couldn't receive at Mass?

[Subrosa]

Recently an unbaptised person accompanied me to a mass. I instructed her to not take communion and she was insulted. She now will not go to mass again, she says.

Was I correct in doing this?

Subrosa,

These links should help you to feel better about explaining to your acquaintance why she was unable to receive the Eucharist. If you have any further questions or concerns that are not answered by these links, please contact Catholic Answers directly.
