If a living sealed couple who one of the couple has joined a different church has a child, is that child born in the covenant or not?

Short Answer: 'Yes'.

.

Here is a "Knowledge Article" in 'FamilySearch':

.

Under what circumstances is a child considered “born in the covenant” (BIC)?

.

Where it states:

Quote

------------------

Children who are born in the covenant or sealed to parents remain so even if the sealing of the parents is later (1) canceled or (2) revoked by the excommunication or name removal of either parent.

------------------

.

And, to be certain, as I have previously stated ...

.

You should pose such question with/through your local line of Priesthood authority (ie. Your local Priesthood Leadership).

.

As you are referring to "Temple" Work; where, some Family members are still "Living", can I suggest that you discuss such, 'in person' (or, over the, Telephone; or, INTERNET), with a member of your local Bishopric/Branch Presidency; and/or, if necessary, your local Stake/District Presidency.

.

And ...

That said ...

.

IF, your local Bishopric/Branch Presidency; and/or, if necessary, your local Stake/District Presidency, CANNOT provide the answers to such questions; THEN, can I suggest that, with their permission, that you discuss such, 'in person' (or, over the, Telephone; or, INTERNET), with a member of your local (ie. closest) "Temple" Presidency, they certainly WILL be able to provide you with the answers to such questions.

.

I hope this helps.

ps: Better that you get the correct answers to your questions from the Priesthood Leaders (or, "Temple" Presidency), rather than the wrong or only partly correct answers from those who participate in this Forum.
