However, most Orthodox churches have rules that they can not give Roman Catholics communion. 2) In danger of death, a Roman Catholic can receive communion from another church with valid sacraments, for example, any of the Orthodox churches. 3)Roman Catholics can not receive communion while attending Protestant religious services.
generally no, since they have not been baptized in the faith of that particular Christian group.
What else can I help you with?
Can Catholic receive communion outside Catholic church example at lutheran church?
Ordinarily, a Catholic should only receive Holy Communion in a Roman Catholic Mass. Most other churches are not in communion with the Pope and disagree on certain doctrines, and so have removed themselves and established themselves as a separate church. Catholics believe that because of this, their communion is not the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Jesus Christ. To participate in their communion would mean that one would be participating in their service, which would be to deny the Catholic Faith's teachings on the Eucharist, etc. Therefore, a Catholic usually cannot receive communion in these churches. There are possibly some exceptions - see your local Catholic priest to learn about it.

A Lutheran service is like a Catholic mass because they both take communion and have the option to drink from the mass. Also, they receive sacraments, in other words.
Is there a priest at a Holy Communion service?
Roman Catholic AnswerThe only times that a Catholic Church would have a Communion service would be if a priest were not available. In my diocese the rules are that a parish may have a Communion service on one Sunday out of the year if it is impossible to get a priest. The Vatican forbids Communion services during the week, and on a regular basis. There had to have been a priest there before the Communion service to consecrate the Sacred Hosts.
What are the sacraments at the service of communion?
Roman Catholic AnswerIn these days of the priest shortage, a Communion Service, in which a layman conducts a brief prayer service and distributes Holy Communion (that was consecrated at an earlier Mass) has become a sad necessity in places. One would receive the Sacrament of the Eucharist in Holy Communion, but the service itself, and everything else about it is most definitely NOT a sacrament.
What are some ways which you can receive communion?
In church during service
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.
