No, a Methodist may not 'receive' (proper term) Communion in a Catholic Church. In doing so, they are making a symbolic gesture that they accept Catholicism and the True Presence in the Eucharist. If they do accept these, they still need to go through the proper procedure to officially become a Catholic.

What food do Samoans and Catholics have in common?
The holy bread and wine by all means..Catholic AnswerCatholics are in every land and culture of the world to one degree or another, as far as common food, they have very little in common with each other so there is no way that you could compare the food of Catholics to Samoans. Catholics Samoans, of course, would partake of the spiritual food of the Eucharist, but that would only be Catholics.
What are some characteristics of the Anglican church?
Anglicans do not recognise the Pope as the Head of the Church. Most do not accept the transubstantiation of the bread and wine at the mass (Holy Communion) into the actual body and blood of Christ, but regard them as symbolic instead. Anglicans on the whole do not pray to saints, do not regard the Virgin Mary with the same veneration as Catholics, do not require their priests to be celibate, do not believe in the non-scriptural ideas of purgatory or limbo. In the Anglican Church, any visitor who would normally receive Holy Communion in a different church (whether or not it is Anglican, Catholic, Methodist, Baptist, URC or whatever) are welcome to receive the bread and wine in an Anglican church. In a Catholic Church, one must be a Catholic if one is to be invited to receive. In an Anglican church all receive the bread and wine; in a Catholic Church only the bread is normally received by the members of the congregation.
How do you make that white church bread?
The white church bread you refer to is often called a host. Various churches have different prescriptions regarding what it can be made out of. Catholics can only use unleavened bread made from flour and water. Some Orthodox and Eastern rites use leavened bread in cubes. Most Protestants use a variation, either prescribed by their denomination or left to the discretion of the pastor.
Why is eucharist important to Catholics?
The Eucharist is important to Catholics because Christ is important to Catholics. You see, the Catholic Church teaches the doctrine of the real Presence, which means that Catholics believe that the host is not a mere symbol of the Body of Christ, and the wine of the blood. They are really and truly the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ sacramentally present under the appearance of bread and wine.
Do Mormons believe that Jesus is present in the Eucharist?
No. While members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) do partake of blessed bread and water each week at Sunday services in commemoration of the Lord's supper, they do not believe in the doctrine of transubstatiation. That is, they do not believe that Jesus is physically present in the emblems. The bread and water are viewed as symbols of the flesh and blood of Jesus Christ only.
Why do some Christians believe that the bread and wine at Communion is only symbolic and simply remembers Jesus while some believe that the bread and wine is in a real way transformed into the body an?
The Catholic church teach that when the sacrament is blessed it BECOMES the flesh and blood of Christ. For the Catholics this is a matter of doctrine/faith. Most of the rest of the Christian community believe, that the bread and wine SYMBOLISE Christ's body and blood in the same manner of imagery/metaphor that Christ himself used at the last supper before his death. Thus Catholics are welcome to share the sacrament at any other church but the Catholic church will not allow a non Catholic to share the sacrament in a Catholic church.
What kind of bread do we use at the Catholic Mass?
Catholics use unleavened bread. This becomes the Body of Christ after the consecration.
Why are sacraments so important to catholics?
All seven sacraments are important for Catholics. I suppose, however that you are talking about the sacrament that is most revered by them, the Eucharist, which they sometimes refer to as the Blessed Sacrament. Catholics believe that after the consecration, what remains of the bread and wine brought to the altar, is truly the body, blood, soul and divinity of Jesus Christ under the appearance of bread and wine. The Blessed Sacrament is important for Catholics because Jesus Christ is truly present, and He is very important for Catholics indeed.
Do Lutherans believe in the real presence in the Lord's Supper?
Yes. And, Lutherans do not dogmatize how the real presence happens as do Roman Catholics in their doctrine of Transubstantiation. That presence is left a mystery and Jesus' words are taken at face value. "This BREAD is my BODY..." According to formal Lutheran doctrine, the bread is there and so with it is the true body of Christ. Roman Catholics say that the bread is not there and is referred to as an "accident." Martin Luther used the formula "in, with and under." The body and blood are received in, with and under the elements of bread and wine. Communion, in Lutheran ideology, is type/antitpe of the incarnation. The divine is made tangible just as happens in Jesus. He is God, but can be seen and touched and sensed in common, earthly form.
