What is a church that a Catholic and Baptist may attend?
A Catholic has an obligation to attend Mass at a Catholic Church at least every Sunday and Holy Day of Obligation. Baptists are welcome to attend Mass with Catholics, but may not receive the Eucharist. If, in addition to Mass, a Catholic would like to visit a Baptist Church, he or she may do so provided it does not harm his or her faith.
Can a non-Catholic sing mass music?

Can a Catholic priest celebrate mass for a non Catholic?
Yes he can, at public masses, anyone can attend, but a non-Catholic that is not baptised and is not of proper age cannot receive communion.

But yes, anyone can partake in mass because Catholics could get more people if the non-Catholic decides to become a Catholic and the Church welcomes anyone that wants to worship God.

If you get your son baptized Lutheran is he still recognized by the Catholic Church?
Short answer: Yes. Longer explanation: your son will be recognized as being baptized into the Christian community. All Christian baptisms are recognized by the Catholic Church. Longer answer: His baptism is recognized, as are other Trinitarian baptisms and church marriages, as well. That does not make him Catholic. That does not make him welcome to receive the Eucharist at a Catholic Mass. He is recognized as a baptized Christian, separated from the fullness of the Church.

Can an Anglican Catholic priest say Mass at a Roman Catholic Church?
The Anglican Church is not called the Anglican Catholic Church, and the Catholic Church is not formally known as the Roman Catholic Church even though the Vatican is indeed located in Rome. Your question therefore would more accurately read, can an Anglican priest say Mass at a Catholic Church. The answer is, the Catholic religion does not allow Anglican priests to officiate at their rituals. The Anglican Church, despite being extremely similar to the Catholic Church in most respects, is nonetheless regarded by Catholicism as a heretical schism.
