If a Catholic happens to attend a Greek Orthodox Mass does he or she receive the Eucharist or just wait?
Catholics and others are welcome to attend an Orthodox service, but they are not permitted to receive the Eucharist, as this is reserved for members of the Orthodox Faith alone.
Can someone not baptised attend a Catholic church?
No, to be a Godparent at a Catholic baptism one must be a baptized and practicing Catholic. However, you may also have another sponsor in addition to the Catholic Godparent. That second person does NOT have to be Catholic. Technically, they probably don't need to be christened, but what would be the point of having someone be a Godparent who does not believe in Christ?
Can a non-Catholic serve as a sponsor at a Catholic baptism?
No. Your sponsorship is your endorsement of the ceremony. Since Catholics believe that the fullness of the truth is in the teachings of the Catholic Church, sponsoring a non-Catholic baptism would mean you are allowing a loved one to be raised without the fullness of the truth. Therefore, all Catholics shouldn't be a sponsor at a non-Catholic baptism. The proper thing for a Catholic to do is to express that you are happy they are entering into the Christian faith but remark that the Catholic Church is the only Christian church founded by Jesus and therefore, they remain a separated brother or sister from the church unless they become Catholic. Remember, the key is to love them with a Christ-like love. That means being honest and telling them the truth. Not to give a watered down consent for a ceremony that will not bring them into full union with Christ's Church. As an aside, the Catholic Church does allow you to attend the baptism, just not sponsor.

Are Catholic schools private schools?
Absolutely not. However, the kids are required to learn catholic catechism and attend Mass once a week during school. They also must take religion classes and learn prayers. Many children in Catholic schools are nonreligious, Muslim, or Jewish. They are usually respected but not permitted to demonstrate prayers unless for instructional purposes. They are certainly not forced to become Catholics!However, it is easier to be Catholic and attend Catholic school. Not to mention tuition is lower for members of the Catholic Church.
Can you have a child be baptised in the catholic church without being catholic?

Can catholics attend a Lutheran church?
Yes. All worshippers are free to attend services in any church. Updated response - Although it may be an acceptable truth that all worshipers are free to attend services in any church, the obligation for a Catholic is different. Each Catholic shares an obligation to attend Catholic mass on Sunday - The Mass within the Catholic community is the catalyst to receiving Holy Communion, which to a Catholic is a Holy Sacrament. Mass or service at any other Church for any other denomination, though spiritual and holy in its own right, does not allow a Catholic participation in the Consecration of the Holy Eucharist or therefore Holy Communion. Although there is nothing ecumenically wrong for a Catholic to attend a non-Catholic mass, liturgically this obligation to attend mass would not be fulfilled.
Should I attend the rosary or the Mass for our neighbor's daughter I am not Catholic?
There is no reason why you should not attend. Non-Catholics can attend Catholic events. Personally, I would recommend that you attend, the Mass would be the Catholic equivalent of the funeral, and the Rosary would be the equivalent of the viewing.
