Loving God and my neighbor as myself.
Actually the RCC accepts the sacraments of the Eastern Orthodox churches..
You ask... Do I have to be a Catholic to have life in me? The ONLY place you can receive Jesus is in a Catholic Church; a Priest at the alter makes the change of ordinary bread into the LIVING flesh of Jesus!
And when it comes to baptism, they accept all Christian baptisms in the name of the father, son, and holy spirit. (An exception to that rule is Mormon baptism, since Mormons do not share a trinitarian concept of God). Protestants baptised under this formula are considered brothers in Christ. Now their churches are not considered true churches by the RCC. But that's another topic. The point is that their baptism is considered just as legitimate as that of a Catholic, making them true Christians. If you need me to, I'll look up the quote from the catechism on this.
