You know, I would affirm that I believe everything that Justin Martyr and the rest of the Church taught with regard to Christ and the eucharist in 150 AD. I believe that next time I am in a Catholic church that I will go ahead and receive it. Thanks for the invitation!"And this food is called among us Εὐχαριστία [the Eucharist], of which no one is allowed to partake but the man who believes that the things which we teach are true…”
- Justin Martyr - The First Apology Ch 66,20 – (150 A.D.)

Closed communion was the universal practice of the early Church.So if I believe what was taught back in 150 A.D., I should be good to go.
God Bless!
Go ahead, after you receive Sacramental confession, make a profession of faith and are received into full communion (with the Sacrament of Confirmation) with the Church.You know, I would affirm that I believe everything that Justin Martyr and the rest of the Church taught with regard to Christ and the eucharist in 150 AD.

YOU said a priest turned YOU away. Tell me how he knew you were a non-Catholic? And as a non-Catholic, didn’t you know you wouldn’t be able to receive the Eucharist before you went there?
Yes, I have been told directly by priest at Catholic weddings that I am not welcomed to receive Communion. My children have been told at their Catholic school that they are not welcomed to receive Communion but may approach the alter for a blessing. Yes, as a non-Catholic I am aware that the RCC does not welcome other Christians to the Lord’s Supper.YOU said a priest turned YOU away. Tell me how he knew you were a non-Catholic?

Don’t think that all of that was part of the process in 150 AD, from the perspective of 150 AD I already am a member of the Church.Go ahead, after you receive Sacramental confession, make a profession of faith and are received into full communion (with the Sacrament of Confirmation) with the Church.
Then you need to correct your profile and remove “United Methodist” and replace it with “Catholic.”Don’t think that all of that was part of the process in 150 AD, from the perspective of 150 AD I already am a member of the Church.
Why? It’s a given that all United Methodists are catholic. All who belong to Christ are welcome at Christ’s table in our services.Then you need to correct your profile and remove “United Methodist” and replace it with “Catholic.”
But the Early Church was East and West before Roman Catholicism and before there was a recognized East and West.Closed communion was the universal practice of the early Church.
Many, if not all Protestants had closed communion until recently. Some protestants still have closed communion.
United Methodists are United Methodists.Why? It’s a given that all United Methodists are catholic. All who belong to Christ are welcome at Christ’s table in our services.

Baloney. The Early Church was catholic, but the Roman Catholic church was not the Early Church.The Early Church was the Catholic Church.
Christ established one and only one Church, the Catholic Church.Baloney. The Early Church was catholic, but the Roman Catholic church was not the Early Church.
Not the Roman Catholic church. The Early Church before the split of East and West.Christ established one and only one Church, the Catholic Church.
Quite true!Not the Roman Catholic church. The Early Church before the split of East and West.
The early Church (prior to 1054) was the Catholic Church. It still exists, just as Christ promised.Not the Roman Catholic church. The Early Church before the split of East and West.
When the one holy Catholic Church split sadly in 1054, did only the Roman Catholic side keep the truth and entirety of the Faith or did it get split equally among both divorced ecclesiastical spouses? It’s like a cell that split in half. Orthodox don’t believe Roman Catholics to have the truth or validity and Catholics accuse Orthodox Christians of being “defective” because they lack the papacy. Anglicans split from one of the spouses, the Roman Catholics, and RC’s declared them to be invalid. Yet many Orthodox recognize Anglican orders as valid? Does the entire, whole, perfect Church only exist in one of the spouses?The early Church (prior to 1054) was the Catholic Church. It still exists, just as Christ promised.
