The Church of England allows Catholics, and I presume others, to receive communion out of a "spirit of Ecumenism." Whilst they allow this, a Catholic should not partake of communion with any "church" which is not in communion with Rome; as to do so, is an explicit consent to the believes and teachings of said "church."

Please see the link below for a full explanation as to why it is wrong for Catholics to receive communion in a Church not in communion with Rome.

Can a Baptist receive Holy Communion in an Anglican Church?

In the few Anglican churches that continue to maintain the Catholic tradition (known as 'Anglo Catholic' Churches) then they may well say 'no' just as the Roman Catholics would. However, this is against the normal practice of the church, and in the vast majority of Anglican churches anyone who normally receives communion in their own denomination are welcome to receive communion in an Anglican church. In my own Anglican church we have gone a stage further - inviting anyone who 'loves the Lord' to his table to receive communion whether or not they are a communicant member of another Anglican church or a church of any other denomination.

What are the key differences between the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church?

The key difference between the Episcopal Church and the Anglican Church lies in their structure and governance.

The Episcopal Church has its own governing structure and can make decisions independently, while the Anglican Church operates as a worldwide communion with shared beliefs and practices but allows for more autonomy among its member churches.
