So, to follow on what Vito said, the officiant (or the bulletin) states the position of the church as to who can receive. That having been done, the officiant will not question someone who presents him or herself for the Sacrament (or who takes bread and cup when passed).

And this has been my experience as well; I suppose that's what I meant by "we're doing this now" (I'm Presbyterian, too.)
