You are missing my point...the point is, what if that person doesn't have the tithe contribution, are they then unwelcome?

A tithe is 10% of whatever you make. If you make $10 a tithe would be $1. The tithe in most churches today simply means that you should give a portion of what you earn to the Church so that the Church can do it’s work.

I know of no church that enforces tithing. Actually, I don’t know how they’d even know if you tithe or not. They pass the plate. Do they know how much you earn? Do they know what percentage of the cash came from your hand?

The Mormons do enforce it, I understand. I never was a Mormon, but I have heard they check pay stubs and track giving. If I am wrong I hope someone will correct me.
