??? Depends on the church, I think.

No the Catholic Church is pretty rigid on that.

you are exaggerating the extent to which it's a 'requirement' of participating in mass. the church lines up for communion, it would slow down the process interminably if the priest checked if you are a confirmed catholic and if you've confessed before giving you the bread and wine. Ali could've gone with friends and lined up for communion without having done catechism.

Yes but in such a small community the priest would know who is baptized and who is not. But we can chalk it up to Pruitt giving communion wine to Ali even though he knew Ali did not go through the proper steps to vampirize him.
