or that the universal tradition of the church requires baptism prior to Eucharist.

Non-Catholics don't have a "Eucharist".

The Eucharist consists of fully believing that our Lord was telling us the plain truth that day in the temple (John 6) when He lost much of His following and scandalized the Pharisees. He reemphasized how important this was to Him at the very first mass on His very last night alive as a man on this earth.

The fact is that every single Sunday "service" in existence is rooted from this most holy mass. The very sad development is that these modern services are meals or celebrations spawned by unholy men who decided to do things their own way... as Christ's disenchanted followers did because they could not hear His words.

I honestly don't want to be harsh, but unless you are partaking of the body and blood of Lord Jesus it is NOT the Eucharist. To claim it as such is an duplicitous.

Re: "Non-Catholics don't have a "Eucharist"."

Anglicans would disagree, I bet Orthodox would disagree as well. I agree with you only because of my Catholic understanding of the word but they would not.
