yes, you can attend Catholic services if you’re a baptized Christian, but I do not believe you can take communion. Whereas, if you’re a baptized Christian of any denomination, you can take communion in the Anglican/Episcopal church.



I have yet to see anybody at the front door of any church asking for baptism certifcates. If anyone wants communion in just about any church anywhere, all they have to do is go stand in line with the rest of the people when it’s time and take communion. Whether the person is Catholic/Protestant/Satanist/Hindu/Muslim doesn’t matter, hell it really doesn’t even matter what the person looks like. It’s fo free and available to them if they want it.

Ummm... how'd they get around that tiny little detail? As in what was their rationale?

You have to go down the Christology rabbit hole about the nature of Christ. It's interesting, but very esoteric.

I also thought Coptic was it’s own thing older than Greek Orthodoxy

I was raised Catholic but have become interested in Orthodoxy. I cant really explain why. Maybe they seem less controversial than Catholics lately? Maybe more humble and serious. Ive been listening to this Orthodox priest (I guess they're priests?) lately.

Methodism is catholicism. The only real drift is Methodists differ in opinion if we have to answer to the corporate office of the Vatican.

Baptist is the oldest and the true church

Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist into the Baptist faith

My problem with the Methodists is that it's not firmly grounded in ritual, which is why I left for the Episopalians long ago. American methodists abandoned the Book of Common Prayer and it shows based on how varied the individual churches are: you should be able to find the same service everywhere or else it really isn't a demonination... imo

It is ritualistic. We recite the Apostles Creed, Gloria Patri, Doxology... take communion. Give money. I mean, here's the dang creed
quote:

I believe in God, the Father Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ his only Son, our Lord;
who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,
born of the Virgin Mary,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, dead, and buried;*
the third day he rose from the dead;
he ascended into heaven,
and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic** church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

Probably varies by church or diocese huh? Or whatever it’s called?

It's not a diocese. It's simply under the First United umbrella.

Do I understand correctly that Catholics believe baptism is a crucial step to salvation?
