Baptised as a catholic and received first communion but was never confirmed do I have to take the RCIA classes?
Based on my knowledge of RCIA, I believe that confirmation candidates also go through the process. However, the process is certainly not as involved as receiving all four sacraments (Baptism, First Communion, Reconciliation, and Confirmation). The best answer really is: talk to a clergy member or Catechist in your parish office.
What else can I help you with?

Yes. While the catholic church recognizes the Baptism as valid it does not recognize the Confirmation as valid, since it requires administration by a priest having received the valid sacrament of holy orders.

Yes, a Catholic priest can refuse someone communion under certain circumstances. The Catholic Church teaches that those who are in a state of mortal sin or who have not received the Sacrament of Reconciliation should not receive communion. Additionally, a priest may withhold communion if there are public scandals or controversies involving the individual in question.

Can a Protestant receive communion in a Catholic church?
Catholic Answer No. First of all, Methodists do not have the Eucharist, they have a memorial service that they commemorate the Last Supper but they do not believe that it actually is the Body and Blood of Christ. Secondly, any real, active participation in a Protestant service in their church is not permitted to a Catholic as we have the fullness of Christ's revelation and we are supposed to be bringing the truth to them and bring them back to the Church, not showing support for error. But they have been baptised, and thus are Christians, so we must show respect and brotherly love, concern, etc.: NOT support for the errors.
