The Catholic Church is in communion primarily with the Eastern Catholic Churches, which are fully united with the Pope and the Roman Catholic Church while maintaining their own distinct liturgical practices and traditions. Additionally, the Catholic Church seeks ecumenical dialogue with other Christian denominations, such as the Orthodox Churches, Anglican Communion, and various Protestant groups, although these churches are not in full communion with the Catholic Church. The aim of such dialogues is to promote unity among all Christians while respecting theological differences.

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.
Is it ok to take communion at other churches?
.Catholic AnswerCertainly not, first of all, one may never TAKE Holy Communion. One may only RECEIVE Holy Communion, and that only in a Catholic Church and IF one has been to Confession recently. Given those conditions, yes, one may receive Holy Communion at another Catholic Church; certainly not at any heretical sect nor at one of our separated brethren. The former, the various protestant denominations are not actually "Churches" having no valid priesthood, no valid sacraments, etc. To participate in one of their services is to apostatize and to declare that you are no longer a Catholic. The later, the Orthodox Churches, the old Catholic Churches, Polish National Churches, and chapels run by St. Pius X priests are all in schism and are not in inter-communion with the Catholic Church.
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 churches came directly out of the Catholic Church?
Oh, dude, like a bunch of churches split off from the Catholic Church over the years. You've got the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Protestant churches, and even some smaller groups like the Anglican Church. So, yeah, the Catholic Church has kind of been the parent to a whole family tree of different churches.
