My understanding is thus, and what I explained to investigators, it may or may not be correct:
They are free to take the sacrament, the Bishop isn't going to jump off the stand and wrest the bread or water away from your mouth, but as it is a renewal of a covenant (baptismal) they have not made there isn't really a point for them to do so.
