Perhaps she wasn't an official member of a church?

Yes perhaps she was a backslider like some of us are.

I'm not sure about the Catholic faith and 'backsliding'.

Would any Catholics on the board mind a few questions?

1.Do you have to be a member of a Church to participate in Mass, and Holy Communion?

2. Do you have to be a member to attend the confessional?

3.Is there an issue in the church for someone in Terri's situation and when she last confessed?
