Is communion in other churches valid for Catholic?
No with a few limited exceptions. The Catholic Church's Code of Cannon Law, specifically Cannon 844 details exactly when, and from whom, a Catholic may receive the Sacraments. Section 1 states: "Catholic ministers may lawfully administer the sacraments only to Catholic members of Christ's faithful, who equally may lawfully receive them only from Catholic ministers, except as provided in §2, 3 and 4 of this canon and in can. 861 §2" [which pertains to Baptism]. Sections 2, 3 & 4 provide the exceptions to this law and pertain primarily to emergency situations when no Catholic priest is available, i.e., the battlefield when eminent death is expected. In such a situation, a Catholic may receive the Sacraments (e.g., Eucharist & Anointing of the Sick/"last rights") from a minister the Catholic Church considers to have valid sacraments. The primary Churches that the Catholic Church would consider fall into this category would be: the Eastern Orthodox Churches, Armenian Apostolic, Coptic, possibly a few others). However, in general, no Catholic can just decide to attend a non-Catholic (i.e., Protestant) church and receive Holy Communion. Such churches would include the Lutherans, Episcopalian/Anglican, Presbyterian, etc. For a Catholic to receive communion in these Christian churches (not in full-communion with The Catholic Church), it would be considered a "mortal sin" for the Catholic to do such a thing and he/she would need to be reconciled back to the Catholic Church in the Sacrament of Reconciliation/Penance.
