Many churches have closed communion. Many don’t but do ask that the communicant be a baptized Christian. None are asked to show proof of their baptism nor of their church affiliation that I know of. My big giggle came when I found that my children had received communion in the Catholic Church, which was okay as they were both baptized Catholics, but had never made their first confession when they did it. Believe it on not there was no lightening strike nor thunder from the sky. I think God loves the little children and wants them fed.

Jesus does love the little children. However, as baptized Catholics, it is important that your children receive instruction. How else can they understand that the host they are recieving is the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Himself.

As their parent, you will be held accountable for ensuring they were properly educated in the faith.
