1. That is not what you claimed. You seem to have changed your position.

So let's just cut right to the chase...the Catholic church teaches that I don't have to do what the Catholics say I have to do to become a child of God? If so, why was the OP kept from observing Passover for not being a child of God?

1. So you can't provide evidence for either of your statements.

2. As both I and wondering have pointed out, being a "child of God" or not being one is NOT why she was refused communion.
It was because she was not a Catholic.

Wrong question.
Dinner time.
The question is:
Why was the OP denied communion?

BTW if you read the OP she was not attending a Passover - that's a Jewish feast.
As she stated in the OP she was attending the 'Catholic Liturgy of the Passion'. I'm not sure which service she mean by that but probably the Good Friday service.
She was very welcome to attend that service, but as she is not a Catholic she is not entitled to receive communion at it.

You yourself said Catholics do not believe in 'faith alone' (meaning 'apart from works'), of course meaning as Protestants understand and teach that. You yourself said it!

We don't believe we are saved by faith alone because it is not Biblical.

News flash J,
Unless you've changed drastically sans advising me, You also believe in a works salvation.
And I'm sure you know what I mean.
IOW, salvation....
Not getting saved.

I am saved
I am being saved
I will be saved...

Oh, good grief! Don't you know that Jesus was observing a Passover in the upper room?

Yes, but Christians do not replicate the Jewish Passover.
Moreover if, as I suspect, she was attending the Good Friday service that does not have any of the elements of the Jewish Passover

Jesus called what he observed in the Upper Room a Passover. And why not since he is our Passover Lamb! Not our 'Easter' Lamb. Our Passover Lamb. Good grief, man! There are good reasons why the Catholic church was rejected.
