I'm Anglican (Episcopalian), and have always known that I couldn't receive with my Catholic friends. The only exceptions have been when as a child I was on holiday with my family in remote areas of Latin American or the Caribbean and Christmas or Easter rolled around. Since those are Holy Days of Obligation, Episcopalians as well as Catholics are obligated to attend Mass on those days. If there was no Episcopal or Anglican church on the island or up in the hills of Mexico, my father would call on the local priest and lay our situation before him. (He doesn't speak Spanish but he speaks fluent Italian and we wandered all through Latin America on that basis with no problem.) The Catholic church has always allowed those who acknowledge the Real Presence in the Blessed Sacrament to receive in emergency situations, and since we do and it was an emergency, I can't remember a time when we were refused.
But you can't just show up at the rail when there's an Anglican church right down the road . . . :-D
I wonder if this message changes that old practice. I'll have to read it carefully when I have more time.
Nothing has changed in this practice, for those in grave need who express a belief in the Real Presence.
I don't think I would define being on holiday as a "grave need."

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. Any who are baptised with water in the name of Jesus are welcomed.
As I'm sure you're well aware, Anglicans, Episcopalians and Lutherans are considered to be much closer to Roman Catholicism than most other Protestant denominations. Although I am uncertain as to the specific details where differences still exist, I am certain that the Pope's message is not intended to magnify them. Rather, it is more intended to whoop the more wayward liberal Catholics back into line.
