Not really, although that certainly is one possible interpretation of my question. I'm asking if when those who crossed the parking lot on any given Sunday morning stayed on the "other side" of the lot or if the next Sunday they went back from whence they came, receiving Holy Communion on both sides of the lot.
Thanks for that clarification, J Michael. I had thought of 2 possible interpretations of your question

Once one "crosses the parking lot", is Holy Communion offered to and received by those who've crossed? Or is confession required first, along with a renouncement of Roman "heresies"?
and I wasn't sure which was correct. (Turns out,
neither of them.)
Incidentally, I wonder about that too. Not only in terms of what the Orthodox think about it (not that there's much need for me to wonder

since I've heard from them many times on the subject) but also from the Catholic p.o.v.:
