No, they must have their marriage regularized by the Church and the spouse who has only been baptized needs to take instructions to receive the other sacraments.

Is it required for Catholics to marry as part of the Seven Sacraments?
If a Catholic marries, he is required to do this in the presence of a priest, to have his marriage recognized and blessed by the Church. The sacrament of matrimony is one of the seven sacraments, the grace of this particular sacrament is solely oriented towards the spouse. Catholics are not required to be married, but if they do marry, then they must participate in the sacrament.
What does Easter Duty mean for Catholics?

Why is forbidden to take Communion in a Catholic Church if you are a Christian but not Catholic?
Catholics consider holy communion to be a "sacrament". Sacraments are special graces from God conferred only to Catholics. Most involve a clergy member administering it to the Catholic. As a member of the church, Catholics are required to live a sacramental life which simply means that the sacraments (baptism, reconciliation, holy communion, confirmation, marriage, holy orders, and annointing of the sick) must be administered to the Catholic at various times and frequencies. Holy Communion is one of them, and it must be administered at a minimum of one time per year in the Easter season. As a Catholic, in my personal opinion, I believe that the exclusiveness of this is largely because being so sacred, the sacraments are something that a person must fully understand and commit to. In this case, a Catholic clergy member would only administer the blessed sacrament (the host) to someone he knows is aware of what they are doing (actually consuming the flesh of Christ) and giving the proper respect and awe to our Lord in the form of bread and wine. ~MFC Basically, if you receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church it means you believe in all the beliefs and teachings of Catholicism, including that of the True Presence of Our Lord in Communion. Few, if any, non-Catholics accept the teachings and doctrines of the Church so would be committing sacrilege by receiving Communion.
Can a catholic receive communion in Greek orthodox church?
No they cannot. The Orthodox Chruch and Catholic Church are not in communion with one another and are not able to receive the Eucharist at other churches legitmately. -UPDATE- In the past few years this practice has been changed. Orthodox believers can now receive communion in a Roman Catholic Church and Roman Catholics can now receive communion in an Orthodox Church, however either should only be done in a time of necessity. Great strides are being made in bringing the two churches back together again as it was in the beginning. Catholics will give communion to an Orthodox but an Orthodox is not supposed to take communion anywhere but in the Orthodox Church. I have yet to see communion given to a Catholic in an Orthodox church. If you are not baptised Orthodox you are not given the Holy Mystery in the Orthodox Church. In my church, the Priest will not give communion to anyone unless they have had confession, and will certainly not give communion to ANYONE, not even a Catholic, if they are not Orthodox. It is not allowed.
Can a non-Catholic receive Holy Communion at a Catholic service?
Generally, the answer is no. However, certain circumstances may allow for it. 1) Roman Catholics who do not have access to a Roman Catholic Mass may receive communion from Orthodox churches. However, most Orthodox churches have rules that they can not give Roman Catholics communion. 2) In danger of death, a Roman Catholic can receive communion from another church with valid sacraments, for example, any of the Orthodox churches. 3)Roman Catholics can not receive communion while attending Protestant religious services.generally no, since they have not been baptized in the faith of that particular Christian group.
Do you have to be baptized to do the rest of the sacraments?
In the Catholic Church, baptism is generally required before receiving the other sacraments. Baptism is seen as the gateway to the sacraments and the initiation into the Christian community. However, there may be exceptions made in certain circumstances, such as the sacrament of confession or reconciliation in cases of emergency or danger of death. Ultimately, the requirements for receiving sacraments can vary based on specific circumstances and the guidelines of the church.
What do Catholic people eat?
Catholic people do not have specific dietary restrictions in their faith. They are free to eat a wide variety of foods, but some may observe fasting on certain days as part of their religious practices.
Is it true that catholics don't have to go to confession after the age of 65?

If miss mass can receive communion without making confession?
If you miss the Consecration of the Eucharist during Mass, you cannot receive Communion at that Mass. If you do get there in time for the Consecration, you can receive Communion, but only if 1) you have not eaten for one hour before, and 2) you have no unconfessed mortal sin on your soul. If you do have mortal sin on your soul, you must go to confession before receiving Communion.
Are there rules when it comes to fasting in catholic religion?
Catholics are required to fast one hour before receiving communion. Also, during Lent, it is asked to abstain from eating meat on Fridays as a sign of repentance and preparation for Easter.
Are the sacraments the same in the Catholic and Anglican churches?
No. The Catholic Church recognises seven sacraments: Baptism, Confirmation, Eucharist, Reconciliation, Anointing of the Sick, Marriage, and Holy Orders.Although the Anglican Communion practices rites that are similar to all seven of the Catholic sacraments listed above, it only considers two of them - Baptism and Holy Communion - to be sacraments.In addition, the Anglican Communion has different formulas and practices for each of these activities, so they are not recognised as Catholic sacraments. The Catholic Church does recognise Anglican baptisms, but requires Catholic confirmation for any Anglican wishing to accept communion in the Catholic Church.Answer (Yes and No)It is important to remember that within the Anglican Communion there are those who are 'high church' (close to Catholicism in belief) and those who are 'low church' (close to Protestantism in belief).Low church Anglicans say there are 2 sacraments. Those who are high church most certainly believe in the seven sacraments as celebrated within the Catholic Church. For example, the Church of Sweden and the Scottish Episcopal Church (both Anglican) are almost uniformly Catholic in belief, and their members would say that there are seven sacraments. There are many Anglican parishes throughout the world who believe the same, so there are millions of Anglicans who believe in seven sacraments.The one thing that all Anglicans have in common regarding the sacraments is that they regard Baptism and Eucharist as being the most important. Indeed, the Catholic Church also believes that Baptism and the Eucharist are the most important. In paragraph 1213 of the Catholic Catechism we read that Baptism ".....is the basis of the whole Christian life." and the Eucharist is "the sacrament of sacraments" (Catechism 1211) and even "..above all the sacraments" (Catechism 1374).The previous answer states that the Catholic Church recognises baptisms celebrated within the Anglican Communion, and this is true for Catholicism accepts the baptisms of all Christian denominations so long as water is poured over the head and the Trinitarian formula is used. However, the Catholic Church also recognises as being sacramental those marriages performed in Anglican churches (so long as neither party is Catholic). If an Anglican marriage breaks up and one of the parties wishes to marry in the Catholic Church a full annulment process is required, which would not be necessary if no sacrament existed. Finally, regarding ordination; if a member of the Anglican clergy becomes a Catholic and wishes to serve as a priest, Catholic ordination is normally done "conditionally" in case the Anglican priest was ordained by a bishop who has valid orders (this is possible due to the Old Catholic Church sharing in Anglican ordinations to the episcopate for many years).The Catholic church does not recognise the validity of Anglican orders - neither high church or low church. The sacrament of baptism can be carried out by any baptised Christian provided they use the trinitarian form (Father, Son and Holy Spirit) using clean fresh water. It is not necessary (but is usually) carried out by clergy. Marriage is a commitment of 2 people to become one under God and could be considered to be self sacramental and blessed by the presiding clergy. Consequently, without validity of the clergy in the Anglican church as declared by Pope Leo xiii in 1896 they have no power/authority under God to administer the Sacraments.
