[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm the original baptized Lutheran who didn't know I suddenly stopped being Christian when I stepped into a Catholic church.

I remember my grandmother going nuts when I was about 6, because I pointed to a Lutheran church as passed it in the car, and I said "That's our church." It was not. It was Missouri Synod. And my grandmother made VERY clear that our family was NOT Missouri Synod.

Organized religion really is a crock. Do yourself a favor, OP, and let your kid decide for himself whether he wants any part of it.

Nobody is saying that you're not a Christian. But you're not Catholic, and Catholics (and Eastern Orthodox) in a state of grace are the only people permitted to receive communion in a Catholic church. (This is according to the Catholics. The Orthodox disagree, although I think they make exceptions for emergencies.)[/quote]

Exactly. You're a Christian - any Catholic would recognize that. But not all Christians are meant to partake in the Eucharist at a Catholic church.[/quote]
