You do not approach the altar to receive Holy Communion, you approach the sanctuary and the priest brings Holy Communion down from the altar to you. After the Eucharistic prayer, there follows the Our Father, prayer for peace, the Lamb of God, and the Lord, I am not worthy. That is when you approach for Communion.

(Hebrews 13.10)
Why are not all people welcomed to the table of Our Lord in the Roman Catholic Church?
The Catholic Church exists in order to invite all to the Supper of Our Lord Jesus Christ. There are restrictions however when it comes to approaching the altar - for Catholics do not use tables - since Catholics believe that they are receiving the actual Body and Blood of Christ versus the Protestant custom of a commemorative service of wine/grape juice and bread that is validated by the faith of the recipient. The Church therefore protects this most holy sacrament and seeks that its members be educated and prepared before they dare to approach it, for they that eat and drink unworthily shall be guilty of the Body and Blood of Christ. To this end, anyone that wishes to approach the altar to receive Holy Communion in a Catholic Church must first be baptized, free of mortal sin and receive their First Communion after having studied their catechism and displayed sufficient knowledge of the sacrament and their responsibilities and love for God.

During Mass do Catholics go up to the Altar?
During the Mass, the only people who should approach and then enter the Sanctuary, in which the Altar is located, are priests, acolytes, and deacons (basically people who are assisting at the Mass). However, Catholics when receiving communion do approach the Altar area but do not enter into it as the priest stands in front of the Sanctuary to distribute communion.
