However, it is fundamentally different from the beliefs of Lutherans on the Eucharist. And this was the root cause of the Prussian Union wherein the King of Prussia (I think it was pre-Kaiser times) forced together the Calvinists and Lutherans into one Church

It was also why many Germans came here.

I believe that would be correct.

Dear Cronos. Protestants do not have unity of Doctrine; they do have unity of opposition to the One True Catholic Church Jesus established.

Many Lutherans make many claims but there is no connection with them and Apostolic Succession; that is, they are all laymen, even their ministers.

If the Lutheran spouse converts to the one, true Faith, then they will be able to share Holy Communion.

Done and done.
