Not a debate question, but why can't baptized Protestants and baptized Eastern Orthodox be allowed to accept a Catholic communion?

Thr Church requires that one must have a basic understanding of the Church and sacraments, and actually believe they are taking Christ in he Eucharist.

Eastern Othorodox has above. Since the split, they can only take communion on Christmas and the Easter Vigil. Regular Masses, no.

You were right anyhow. According to the Gospels, Peter was renamed by Jesus, during his life. The future Church played no part.

One is wrong .
Neither Jesus gave him the name Peter nor Simon himself changed it:
"Jesus gave Saint Peter (whose given name was Simon) the name Kephas or Cephas meaning "stone" inAramaic.[2]
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_(given_name)
It is a usual trick of Christianity, names are never translated from the original language.
One may like to see the following cassette from YouTube :
Muhammed in the bible - Ahmed Deedat 2 of 11
Please set the timer @8:24 for the name "Peter" and its reality.
Regards

Yeah, everyone knows that. By that logic there was no man named Jesus. It was "Jeshua". Their Greek names were translated to English. This is common knowledge.

Muhammad's proper name is in the Bible, they translated it, and now ask us that Muhammad's name is not in the Bible:

Mohammed was born and lived roughly 6 centuries after the "N.T." was written. And how could you possibly know if that name was ever in there if it supposedly was removed?

"Kephas" is from the Aramaic and means "rock", and "Petros" is from the Greek and also means "rock". "Peter" is derived from the latter.

Please keep all forum rules in mind while posting, especially Rules 1 and 3:

1. Personal Comments About Members and Staff
Personal attacks and name-calling, whether direct or in the third person, are strictly prohibited on the forums. Critique each other's ideas all you want, but under no circumstances personally attack each other or the staff. Quoting a member's post in a separate/new thread without their permission to challenge or belittle them, or harassing staff members for performing moderation duties, will also be considered a personal attack.

3. Trolling and Bullying​
Where Rule 1 covers personal attacks, Rule 3 governs other behaviors and content that can generally be described as being a jerk. Unacceptable behaviors and content include:

1) Content (whether words or images) that most people would find needlessly offensive, especially when such content is posted just to get a rise out of somebody and/or is not part of a reasoned argument.

2) Defamation, slander, or misrepresentation of a member's beliefs/arguments, or that of a particular group, culture, or religion. This includes altering the words of another member to change their meaning when using the quote feature.

3) Antagonism, bullying, or harassment - including but not limited to personal attacks, slander, and misrepresentation - of a member across multiple content areas of the forums. Repeatedly targeting or harassing members of particular groups will also be considered bullying.​

Absolutely false, and you would never be able to convince a single Christian or Jewish theologian of the above since it is abundantly clear that names have been changed at times in both testaments.

The names do not change. The translation of the names is what changes.
