English term or phrase: approach the sacraments
"XYZ are members of the Orthodox Church in good standing and may approach the sacraments if you desire."

It's from a letter that says members XYZ are allowed to take communion. Any suggestions? Thank you.

communier


Explanation:
"Only baptized Catholics who believe the "Real Presence", that is, that the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity of Jesus Christ is truly and substantially present in the Holy Eucharist may present themselves for the sacrament. (...)
It would seem than that non-Catholic Christians, in a case of emergency, may approach the sacraments if they have the correct dispositions and a state of necessity as outlined above. (...)
Some modern parishes are very lenient and willingly offer Holy Communion to an Episcopalian in a false spirit of 'ecumenism'. "
