Can a Christian who is not baptized take communion?
It is not advised to receive Communion in a Catholic Church unless you are Catholic. The code of canon law allows for emergency situations when a Catholic priest can administer Communion to a non-Catholic, however, the non-Catholic would have to believe the Catholic doctrines concerning the Eucharist and so such emergency situations are practically restricted to the Orthodox. Euristic Communion in the Catholic Church implies one believes in the Catholic Faith, its sacrarisments, doctrines and the person is free from sin. As a Catholic we should not be offended by someone elses uneducated decision to take communion, instead we could try to explain to our fellow Christians what their taking of communion in the Catholic Church is stating. You do belong by Baptism to Christ, and you do have a relationship to His Church through Baptism. However, in Catholic belief Baptism does not permit one to receive the Eucharist. If you do receive communion in a Catholic Mass you are saying that you believe Catholic Truth, accept Catholic unity, accept Catholic doctrine and belong to the sacramental unity - without that being the case your "communion" taken in a Catholic Church is not a true "communion" per the Catholic beliefs. When you are taking communion in the Catholic church you are affirming in good conscience that you accept Catholic teaching, and you discern the Real Presence as Catholics hold it to be. Catholics have an educational process call catechism, our children can not take communion until they in essence "graduate" from that educational process having learned about the Catholic sacraments and our beliefs. Adults who wish to become Catholic must also complete educational classes, called RCIA and when they "graduate", mature in the Catholic beliefs (fully understand what they are affirming) they receive their first communion during Easter mass. Meanwhile the Catholic Church welcomes our children, visitors, other Christians, and Adult RCIA participants to participate in the communion portion of the mass through receiving a blessing for their Christian faith. This is accomplished by the person crossing their arms by placing your hands on the opposite shoulders. Eucharistic Ministers (those who pass out the communion) know by this process that a blessing is given in lue of the Holy communion Eucaristic sacrament. FYI- Catholics believe in seven Sacraments , each has it own spiritual commitment and significants "An outward sign instituted By Christ to give Grace, Christs loving gift of himself to his Church". They are: Baptism, Confirmation, Euchstist, Marriage, Reconciliation, Annoiting of the Sick and Holy Orders. "Through ones Catecumenal Journey we can fully appreciate his gifts when we understand the true nature of the sacraments " Peace to All.
When were rood screens removed from Catholic Churches?

Is it ok to take communion at other churches?
.Catholic AnswerCertainly not, first of all, one may never TAKE Holy Communion. One may only RECEIVE Holy Communion, and that only in a Catholic Church and IF one has been to Confession recently. Given those conditions, yes, one may receive Holy Communion at another Catholic Church; certainly not at any heretical sect nor at one of our separated brethren. The former, the various protestant denominations are not actually "Churches" having no valid priesthood, no valid sacraments, etc. To participate in one of their services is to apostatize and to declare that you are no longer a Catholic. The later, the Orthodox Churches, the old Catholic Churches, Polish National Churches, and chapels run by St. Pius X priests are all in schism and are not in inter-communion with the Catholic Church.
