Roman Catholic Answer

No. This is very dangerous. St. Paul warns that because people do not recognize the Body and Blood of the Lord many of them are sick and dying. Unless a person fully recognizes the Body and Blood of the Lord, and their own sinfulness is confessed and forgiven they are asking for trouble. The Church makes provisions for those who are in danger of dying and don't have time to go through the classes and whatnot to speak to a priest. In danger of death, one might speak to a priest and be allowed confession and the Eucharist if one is baptised and truly believes in the Eucharist. Failing that, one must go through classes and confession (the Sacrament of Penance) or be baptised first. Even Catholics are risking a lot when they are taking Holy Communion unworthily.
