It used to be that if you were divorced, remarried, you could receive communion, if you agreed to live with your second spouse as ‘brother and sister’.

However, it's not just agreed, it's a demonstrated commitment.

"It used to be that if you were divorced, remarried, you could receive communion, if you agreed to live with your second spouse as brother and sister." That is still the case. What the Church objects to, based on the teachings of Christ, is adultery, i.e. having sexual relations with someone other than your (first) spouse. So no adultery = no problem.
