Most definitely in the denomination I and my family belong to (Disciples, the ones with the Chalice and Cross of St. Andrew as their "symbol").

The only requirement is the communicant "accepts Christ as his Lord and Savior" - to quote the weekly lead in by minister.

Grape juice rather than wine and the Deacons serve instead of a Priest, but we take Holy Communion as something any professing Christian can partake in with us. I'd say about a quarter or more of our congregation is former (or is it "lapsed" / "retired"?) Roman Catholic.

Trivia: it's the denomination Reagan belonged to. Eureka College (and Mt. Union, Hiram, and quite a few others) is associated with the denomination.

I should add, of course, that my understanding is the RCC considers it Verboten. The phrasing of the question is a bit imprecise.

I am a member in a Disciples church as well. It’s too bad the National Assembly has been hijacked by the lefties. Thank goodness our local congregations have a great deal of autonomy.
