Religious confessional communities, once they are recognized officially as such by the Government, have juridical standing, which permits them to engage in such activities as purchasing real estate in their own names, contracting for goods and services, and other activities...
The nine religious groups that have constituted themselves as "confessional
communities" according to the 1998 law are: Jehovah's Witnesses, the Baha'i
Faith, the Baptists, the Evangelical Alliance, the Movement for Religious
Renewal, the Pentecostalists, the Seventh-Day Adventists, the Coptic-Orthodox
Church, and the Hindu Religious Community.
