Pope St. Pius X introduced the custom formally on August 8, 1910 via his decree "Quam Singulari," which established that children at the age of seven could receive First Holy Communion. He judged it timely to do so since children by that age were capable of understanding the basic beliefs surrounding the sacrament. As well, this most powerful of sacraments would allow them to partake of the Eucharistic graces while forging good habits necessary to combat the ever mounting temptations and secularism of modern times.
First Holy Communion usually takes place in the second grade at age 6 or 7.
Must be old enough to understand the sugnifficance of taking coumnion and understand that to take of the bread or cup un worthingly you are subjecing yourself to eternal damnation.

yes
Quite simply, the bread and wine received at a Pentecostal church would not be Holy Communion.
Whether or not you may receive Holy Communion depends on whether you are in a state of grace and properly disposed to receive Holy Communion (and a Catholic). Thus, if you are a Catholic child, and have been to confession recently and are not in a state of sin, and have already made your first Holy Communion, then you may receive Holy Communion. What gives me pause is your "not in the habit of going to Church". Missing a Sunday Mass or a Mass on any Holy Day of your own free will would put you in a state of mortal sin, and you would be unable to receive Holy Communion until you had been in to confession. Your best bet would be to give your local priest a call, make an appointment, and go down and have a talk with him, and make a good confession while you are there. The priest will be able to guide you as to how and when you make receive Holy Communion, and the absolution from the confession will put you in a state of grace to be able to receive Holy Communion.
Nobody can take Holy Communion in a Catholic Church, you may only receive Holy Communion from the priest, and then only if you have been baptized in the Catholic Church and previously made your first Confession and First Holy Communion. Bottom line? An Anglican may not take communion in a Catholic Church.
Catholics do not take communion, they receive communion.

No, you receive Anointing anytime you are sick enough to be in danger of death, regardless of whether you have received your First Holy Communion or not.
There are different ways you can receive holy communion. When you walk up to the Priest or the person giving out communion, you place or hands out one over the other. The person giving out communion will say the body of christ, you will then say amen. As you walk back to your seat you can then choose to cross or to not. Another way to receive holy communion is to kneel on the floor in front of the person giving out communion, open your mouth and it will be placed on your tongue. Either one is correct depending on your personal beliefs. You must have taken classes and have received your first communion, to receive holy communion.
You do not have to be baptized to receive holy communion in the United Methodist Church. The only requirement is that you feel moved to take communion. This is called open communion.
