So if one were to be Excommunicated from the Church, they would not be part of the communion of believers? What if that person still believes Jesus as the salvation of man?[/quote:35qqp14w]
What I meant was more along the lines of what LARobert wrote: barred from reception of the Eucharist. Essentially this is akin to being cut off from the rest of the community in a symbolic and spiritual way.
