My personal take on this situation is a bit different than many religious leaders would have you believe, and this might be a short post because I'm a bit afraid of angering anyone. So, let me say this before anything else: We've discussed my religious standing. We've also discussed my spiritual standing. I do not belong to any organized religion, but I was married Lutheran, and that was where our Pastor felt that I was just fine to take communion - even though I have never been baptized. In his eyes, I had come as close to being saved as a person can come, and it was good enough for him.
