    For an associative ring \(R\) (possibly without identity) various subcategories of the category of all (right) \(R\)-modules MOD-\(R\) are considered, in particular: \(\text{CMOD-}R=\{M_R\mid M\simeq\Hom_R(R,M)\) canonically\}, \(\text{DMOD-}R=\{M_R\mid M\otimes_RR\simeq M\) canonically\}. Every Morita context between \(R\) and \(S\) with epimorphic pairings induces the equivalences \(\text{CMOD-}R\simeq \text{CMOD-}S\) and \(\text{DMOD-}R\simeq\text{DMOD-}S\). The converse of this fact is proved under hypotheses weaker than the surjectivity of pairings. Namely, for every Morita context \((R,S,P,Q,\varphi,\psi)\) the following conditions are equivalent: (1) \(\Hom_R(P,-)\) and \(\Hom_S(Q,-)\) are inverse category equivalences between the categories CMOD-\(R\) and CMOD-\(S\); (2) \(P\otimes_R-\) and \(Q\otimes_S-\) are inverse category equivalences between the categories \(R\)-DMOD and \(S\)-DMOD; (3) the given context is left acceptable, i.e. \(\forall(r_n)_{n\in\mathbb{N}}\in R^\mathbb{N}\;\exists n_0\in\mathbb{N}\) such that \(r_1r_2\cdots r_{n_0}\in\text{Im}(\varphi)\), \(\forall(s_m)_{m\in\mathbb{N}}\in S^\mathbb{N}\;\exists m_0\in\mathbb{N}\) such that \(s_1s_2\cdots s_{m_0}\in\text{Im}(\psi)\). An example is given of a ring \(R\) such that CMOD-\(R\) is not equivalent to DMOD-\(R\).
