You're right -- I don't think that we Protestants do have an equivalent.
It is of course, to Protestants, perfectly acceptable for Communicants to consume the excess Eucharistic bread after the Supper; but it is not offered to non-communicants. I am reminded of an anecdote which I will relate from a few years back, in my early days in the Orthodox Presbyterian Church (remember, I came from a Zwinglian "symbolic memorial" non-denominational understanding of the Supper)..
I pointed him towards the post-Supper leftovers upon the Eucharist plate and said, "Sure, have a piece".
He looked at me with a curious befuddlement, as though I had suggested something very unfitting, and said "But I can't take Communion yet... and Mom says that the Bread is still under the Blessing".
I immediately excused myself, and assured him that he was a very diligent young man to honor the instruction of his mother, and got him a piece of unconsecrated matzoh from the box in the church pantry.
While I personally would prefer to extend the Supper to the Young (I myself would endorse the old Hebrew practice of offering the Passover to any child able to give the Rabbi a proper explanation of its meaning)... I can't deny that rambunctious young ten-year old -- who was suddenly so serious when it came to the Eucharist -- impressed upon me the fact that Orthodox Calvinists take the Supper a little more seriously than the "whatever floats your boat" mainstream of American Non-Denominationalism from whence I had come. "From the mouths of babes...."
The OPC church I am attending and will be going for membership in (have the Session interview Sunday) does serve the Lord's Supper but since my baptism was invalid (the Mormons don't count), I cannot partake until I am baptized.
This is proper.
The Presbyterian Church had to wrestle with the matter of Baptism and ReBaptism, and ultimately came to the conclusion that all Nicene and Trinitarian Baptisms are Valid, even when conducted in churches with whose theology we disagree. For example, we disagree with the theology of the Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholics, but we respect their baptisms as being genuinely Nicene and Trinitarian, and therefore Valid -- and not requiring ReBaptism.
"Baptisms" which are neither Nicene nor Trinitarian, however, are not received as Valid -- and are considered to be but Water-washings of religious formality, not Christian Baptism... whether Unitarian, Mormon, Pagan, or what have you.
I trust that you have already received (or soon will receive) proper Trinitarian Baptism, and I heartily look forward to your reception into the Orthodox Presbyterian Church!
Though I wonder if your love for Klompen Dancing does not mark you as too sympathetic to the Dutch Reformed for our Celtic Presbyterian tastes. I am of course aware that "If it ain't Dutch... it ain't much" -- but always remember: "If eet's not Schkottisch, eet's CRAAAAAAAAP!!"

Thoughts, from the FR Romans?

Rumble? I think most Dutch-Reformed consider the OPC to be adopted Dutchmen. When J. Gresham Machen was looking for someone to "apologize" for the OPC... he found one "Corny" dude. ;)
And thanks Dr Steve and xzins for your help also! ;-)
