How do we know that believers are worthy to take the Lord's Supper?

Answered in 1 source

Believers are deemed worthy because they trust solely in Christ for their redemption.

Paul clarifies in 1 Corinthians 11 that worthiness comes not from personal merit but from faith in Jesus Christ. A true believer, who understands and acknowledges their sinfulness and relies completely on Christ's sacrifice for salvation, is invited to partake in the Lord's Supper. The key is not to examine one's own goodness but to examine whether one has placed their trust in Jesus, affirming that every true believer is worthy to approach the Lord's table. This reliance on Christ is what distinguishes a believer, making them suitable to eat and drink in remembrance of Him.
