Is it a sin to eat a wafer if you were baptized catholic but didnt have a communion or confirmation because you were taken to a protestant church?
ChetKnaus
Since you are not in full communion with the catholic Church, you should not receive the "wafer" which is the true body and blood of Christ. You can take classes to eneter into full communion as a candidate in the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation)program, and then are more than welcome to receive the "wafer". You should referain from doing so until you receive a better understanding of the Church's teachings.
With regard to it being a sin, you have not received the sacrament of Penance so sin only applies to knowing you are doing wrong as a a catechized Catholic. While it is not a sin for you, you should refrain from this, and seek the RCIA program. Most programs start in the fall and end with Communion and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil.

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.

Going Catholic how do you do it?
Go to your local church, ask if there are any baptismal ceremonies coming up, get baptized. Then after that, if you are over the age of 18, you must have your First Holy Communion and your Confirmation. You are usually baptized when you are a baby if your family is too and wants you to be Catholic. Then you have your First Holy Communion when you are in second grade, then, when you are 17 or 18, you have you Confirmation. It may take a lot of Religion classes for you to be able to receive First Holy Communion and Confirmation, but if you wish to be Catholic you must go through with it. Then after all of that you must go to mass every Sunday and Holy Days to receive Holy Communion (the Eucharist). Trust me, I'm a Catholic, I know what I'm doing!ANSWER:Cute. :-)1.
