Yes I am aware of this sort of encounter in my own local area. Yes E1. But those sorts of encounters are not what this article is talking about, nor what we have been discussing as E2.

I must confess, that I find such encounters somewhat stilted whenever I have been involved. Personally, I see much less hope for such E1 ecumenism as long as Fundamentalists remain tied to literal reading of scripture. 

BTW, the issue of how to approach scriptural studies is a profound unified among Catholics, mainline Protestants, and Orthodoxy. In many seminary type situations, students for ministry of any denomination are free to attend classes for credit offered by professors of any of the other groups. This is not the case with Fundamentalist Bible Colleges. 

But you are right, pro forma E1 Catholic-Fundamentalist encounters do occur.
