Hmmm...the last Catholic church I attended had the following rules:
I want communion = outstretched hands
Just a blessing = folded arms
I don't want either = "reverently walk by"
When I attended mass with my aunt, she told me to just stay in my seat. I didn't know the finger over the mouth was a universal symbol for anything other than "Shhh be quiet" unless I'm doing it wrong in my head.
Well, at least the priest told you ahead of time because a lot of them in this thread seemed to not have done that!
