How can one even ask such a question? Holy Communion is for disciples, that is, for Christians. And a person is made a Christian, not by his subjective beliefs or opinions, but by baptism -- by that specific, objective means of grace.<br /><br />All you need to do is look at the Church's liturgy of Christian initiation in the early centuries to see the consistent pattern: baptism, confirmation/chrismation, and communion -- in that order -- in one unified liturgy. Those who had not put on Christ in baptism were not allowed even to witness the celebration of the Eucharist, much less to partake of it.<br /><br />I recommend <i>Theology of Confirmation in Relation to Baptism</i> by Dom Gregory Dix as a resource for exploring this.Chris Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03220498656377282715noreply@blogger.com
