The Protestant churches that retain the sacrament of the Eucharist offer it to all baptized adult Christians without distinction.

No, we 'fence the table'.

"the minister, at the discretion of the Session, before the observance begins, may either invite all those who profess the true religion, and are communicants in good standing in any evangelical church, to participate in the ordinance; or may invite those who have been approved by the Session, after having given indication of their desire to participate."

The ignorant and the scandalous are also to be excluded.

The Free Methodist doctrine of communion is open to all who profess faith; that is the only restriction.
