The Catholic church only recognizes one baptism, therefore, if you were baptized protestant, you do not get baptized again if you convert to Catholicism. You will, however, have to go through classes before being able to receive your first communion. If you do this as an adult, you attend RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) and you will receive your communion and confirmation in the same mass.

Can an Anglican take communion in a Maronite church?
.Catholic AnswerOf course not, an Anglican is a protestant, a Catholic Church is Catholic. An Anglican may receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church after completing RCIA classes and being brought into the Church at the Easter Vigil, but if they wish to remain an Anglican, they are, by that very fact, proclaiming that they are not in communion with the Catholic Church, so to receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church would be a lie and dangerous to their spiritual well-being. Aside from all that, Catholics to not "take" Holy Communion, they "receive" Holy Communion.

Anyone can administer this sacrament in an emergency - even a non-baptized person.

Can a Catholic divorce if he became Anglican?
A Catholic can divorce and remain a Catholic as long as the person does not remarry. The Catholic Church does not recognize divorce so would consider the person as separated from the spouse. To remarry the person would have to obtain a Church annulment or the previous spouse would have to die. If the person remarries without an annulment, that person would be considered as an adulterer and could not receive the sacraments. The Anglican Church, as we have seen with Henry VIII's life, is much more liberal when it comes to divorce.
If you are Jewish can you receive reconciliation?
Roman Catholic AnswerNo, Reconciliation (or Penance) is on of the seven sacraments of the Catholic church. The only one that can be received by someone who is not baptised is Baptism. All other Sacraments are means of grace that can only be received by a member of the Church. However, you can always talk to a priest, if you have a problem, and they will be able to give you a blessing after your talk. I *believe* (you can ask) that such a talk is covered by the same confidentiality that would be extended towards somebody in the confessional.
Can a Roman Catholic receive sacraments after marrying an Anglican divorcee?
A person can receive the sacraments if they are free of mortal sin. This may include acting out a marriage that is invalid. A valid marriage of a Catholic is only through the Catholic church. [Note: 2 baptized persons who have never been Roman Catholic, can be validly married.] During the pre-cana process, the church will investigate all impediments (like prior divorces) and sort through them to either approve or deny an impending marriage. The Annullment process for example may be necessitated. If a Catholic is married outside the church (regardless of the spouses religion or marital status) they cannot receive the sacraments. Also, if a person is married to another person who is validly married, then those two persons are committing adultry, which is a mortal sin.
