Yes. Anyone who feels drawn to the Catholic Church is invited to study its doctrines and can receive baptism and the other sacraments. Christians who have already been baptized and who, after studying Catholic doctrine, desire to become a part of the Church do not receive a second baptism ("we believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sin" - Credo), but are welcomed into the Church in a special ceremony called the Rite of Christian Initiation of an Adult, or RCIA.
