Do you not sin every day? Yet you are allowed to take communion are you not?

If the sin is grave, mortal sin, like murder or sex outside the bonds of marriage between man and woman, then you are not in a state of grace and cannot receive the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Otherwise, if the sin is venial, or minor, such as telling a white lie, or yelling at your wife, then it does not prevent you from receiving.

I am not a theologian, but a lay person.

Are you free to sin at will, thus never repenting then feel entitled for cheap Grace? Many are called but few are chosen. Christ is not a sucker for the cheap Grace express and “dogs” swallowing vomit.
