I’m sorry, but I’ve been to the internet and I can’t find an answer.

If a woman leaves her order and becomes an “ex-nun” Can she continue to receive sacraments. Thanx and sorry for the tangent.

While I do not know for sure, I presume that would depend on the vows she has taken and the dispensation she received from the order at the time of her departure. For example, if a Catholic, married in the Church, procures a civil divorce but the marriage is not annulled, they may still receive the sacraments if they remain celibate. Does that make sense?
