Catholic AnswerNo, most other churches either do not believe in transubstantiation or do not have valid orders. The few exceptions would be the Orthodox, or schismatic groups such as the Saint Pius X society. In an emergency (I am thinking imminent death here) one might be able to receive the sacraments from them, but you would have to check with your local pastor on that one, and then it would only be if there was no hope of reaching a Catholic priest before death.

Can Catholic receive communion outside Catholic church example at lutheran church?

Ordinarily, a Catholic should only receive Holy Communion in a Roman Catholic Mass. Most other churches are not in communion with the Pope and disagree on certain doctrines, and so have removed themselves and established themselves as a separate church. Catholics believe that because of this, their communion is not the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ. To participate in their communion would mean that one would be participating in their service, which would be to deny the Catholic Faith's teachings on the Eucharist, etc. Therefore, a Catholic usually cannot receive communion in these churches. There are possibly some exceptions - see your local Catholic priest to learn about it.
