Anglicans recognize the validity of Catholic baptism and communion, so you will be welcome to receive communion. Anglicans claim that they have maintained apostolic succession, so that their communion is a means of grace, rather than a mere memorial service. Catholics disagree on this.

If you are a baptized Catholic, I don't think the Anglican church puts restrictions on taking communion.

Be aware, however, that communion in the Anglican church is not truly the Body and Blood of Jesus Christ and so you do not receive the fullness of grace from it.

For the Anglicans, since they broke away from the true Church, their communion is merely a spiritual remembrance - but does not impart grace.

No; you do not need to re-receive the sacraments. Most Anglican churches will share communion with all baptized Christians. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins and we believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church.

I was raised Roman Catholic as well, and I am now a member of the the Episcopal Church without repeating any sacraments.

See your local Anglican priest for further details.

Probably not from an Anglican viewpoint but we really should not be receiving communion from priests in other churches. If you are converting to the Anglican Church you should ask an Anglican pastor. Peace be with you

the Episcopal Church, which is the Anglican counterpart in the United States, invites all who have been baptized to receive the body and blood of Christ.

If you want to become a "full member" of the Anglican community, you may wish to go through the confirmation process, but there is no need to be baptized again.

If an Anglican wishes to convert to Catholicism, then yes. One's confirmation in the Anglican Church would have to be superceded by a profession of faith in the Catholic Church, and one can only make that profession of faith after being fully informed of the core Catholic teachings. RCIA is the best way to receive that knowledge.

The answer is Yes!!! I was born and raised Roman Catholic, baptized, first Holy Communion, and Confirmed. I attend All Saints Church in Pasadena, CA and I am in Covenant II, on May 12, 2004, (Confirmation Day), I will be received into the Episcopalian Church/Anglican. However, you are more than welcome to receive Holy Communion now, all are welcome to the table. God bless you and welcome. We say at our church "No matter who you are, or where you are on your journey of faith, you are welcome here". Happy Easter, Christ is Risen, peace, Joe

Sir, stop wasting your time...all that you listed, plus a special invite from the Pope still WON'T get you into heaven... all that stuff is merely religion. There is only one way to enter the grace of GOD and that is by excepting JESUS CHRIST as your personal savior (Jn 3:16 \ Rom 10:9-10) Seek the LORD for "yourself" in your prayer closet. I don't mean to sound rude but you are wasting valuable time chasing GOD down a dead end road....
~GOD BLESS YOU AND LEAD YOU INTO ALL TRUTH AND GRACE FOUND ONLY IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH JESUS CHRIST WHICH IS OBTAINED ONLY BY A REPENTANT YIELDED HEART, AMEN~

My dear,if you have not repented of your sins and received the Lord Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour and Lord, then you are lost and fit for hell.Baptism is not salvation. Should in case you need some advice and I know you really need it, please mail me on
