Eastern Orthodox Christians are permitted with special permission to receive the Eucharist from a Catholic Church on certain occasions and other non-Catholic Christians may be able to receive if they are in danger of death, express a belief in the Eucharist, and ask for it on their own initiative.

In the Eucharist we receive that eternal sacrifice in the Eucharist in a non- bloody manner.
Why is Baptism the first sacrament?
Jesus is the author of the Sacraments, their dispenser and the cause of their efficacy. He, however, is not properly a sacrament Himself, for a sacrament is a visible sign meant to confer grace when validly administered. The phrase, "Jesus is the first sacrament" may refer to Jesus in the Holy Eucharist, for He is there truly present, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity. The Holy Eucharist is not the first sacrament received, however, it is first among the others in its sublime excellence, for in it we really receive God and are in His Divine Presence. The Holy Eucharist also carries with it incredible graces.

Who should receive the sacrament of the sick?
As far as my knowledge reaches, Christian Catholicism is the only religion known to practice the anointing of the sick or also known as last rites. Last rites involves receiving the Eucharist and an anointing of oil.

If one is not confirmed, has not had a first communion Eucharist, baptized or had a confession, then these are all part of the last rites that are being administered. if one has received all these sacraments, then the Eucharist is the only sacrament received along with the anointing, although confession may be a part of it as well.
