Luke 22:19 And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is given for you: this do in remembrance of me.

I don't see where Jesus said anything about being, "in full communion with Rome."

Big problem is this is a "man-made" law of the church, and not of God nor Jesus.

This isn't a case of "Believers" and non-believers, this is a case of follow my rule or else.

To deny anyone Communion, if they choose to accept it, is FUNDAMENTALLY UN-CHRISTIAN.

1 Corinthians 11:
27 Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord.
28 But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup.
29 For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

We simply follow Paul's advice. It is not "fundamentally un-Christian" to prevent those who do not "discern the Lord's Body" from "eating and drinking" themselves to damnation.

In fact it's quite charitable to prevent your brethren from falling into a pit.

When has Rome been in "communion" with Jesus Christ?

At the time, there wasn't a need to say it.
