I do not know if Metmom is Baptist. I didn’t say that she is. I have no clue which church she attends, but from her testimony I know that she belongs to the church of Christ and is a member of His body. You might want to go back and read things more thoroughly. I sense a lot of confusion on your part because you seem to keep asking the same questions multiple times and distort what I posted.

Different Protestant and Reformed denominations have their own methods of knowing whether someone has been denied fellowship or is somehow under church discipline if the person is honest. Just like the Roman church. It all depends on the person. Someone who is excomunicated from the Roman church can go to any church and eat the wafer. Nobody will stop them at the door - even if there are an excommunicated somodomizing ex-priest who is out of prison.

In the end, God knows the heart. The LORD knows who is bringing judgement on themselves by partaking in the Lord’s supper while in rebellion to Him. Man can’t. A big man-made, man-run institution like the Roman church can’t. Nor can a small bible believing country church of 30 people.

Very good. We must then agree to disagree. I disagree with your characterization of the Catholic Church as man-made. If you truly believe in the Bible and its content, then you must believe in the origins of the Church being in Christ.
