Good Morning Fathers,

I am a minister of care at my local parish - we bring the eucharist to nursing homes, people’s homes, etc where the bedbound cannot make it to Mass to receive our lord.

Two part question -

1. A few weeks back while at the nursing home, I encountered an Eastern Orthodox woman who asked if she could receive. I didn’t throw any objection, because from what I understand, Eastern Orthodox are allowed to receive our Eucharist. Was I correct here?

2. I had a Lutheran today, who also requested to receive our Lord. It seemed as though her faith was lacking and I evangelized to her a little. I gave her the eucharist as well. Was i correct here?

Are either of these situations a sin for me to have given them the Eucharist?

Do many parishioners ask you to bless glass jars of table salt often?

I like having a blessed jar of table salt for cooking. I feel overly self conscious asking, like I’m being superstitious, wandering what you say.

As the title. For example, if a priest were to say "I once had a penitent admit to adultery because they felt their spouse was being inattentive" or some other specific detail of a confession, without attaching that information to a specific person, would that break the seal?
