The invention of the communion cup with juice on the bottom and wafer on top is credited to Presbyterian minister, Boyd K. Packer. This design is commonly known as the "Sacrament Cup" and is used in some Christian denominations during communion services.
Some common outward signs or symbols of the Sacrament of Communion include bread and wine, which represent the body and blood of Jesus Christ. Other symbols may include a chalice, a paten, and the act of breaking the bread and sharing the wine amongst participants. These elements are used in the Eucharistic celebration to signify the spiritual nourishment and unity of believers with Christ and with one another.
In 1 Corinthians chapter 11, Paul is instructing the Corinthian church on the proper way to observe the Lord's Supper or communion. He emphasizes the importance of doing it in a reverent and respectful manner, recognizing the significance of Jesus' sacrifice for believers. Paul also warns against taking communion unworthily, urging believers to examine themselves before participating.

The wafer represents the body of Christ; wine represents His blood. If we treated Communion as just a food or that we can have 'seconds' or have 'more', we reduce it to the mere 'ordinary'. So Communion is restricted as a special Holy Sacrament.
The actual "wafer" is the Body of Christ. Holy communion signifies the universal reception of the Body of Christ by the entire Catholic community and becoming "one holy community" through the Body of Christ.
Since you are not in full communion with the catholic Church, you should not receive the "wafer" which is the true body and blood of Christ. You can take classes to eneter into full communion as a candidate in the RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation)program, and then are more than welcome to receive the "wafer". You should referain from doing so until you receive a better understanding of the Church's teachings. With regard to it being a sin, you have not received the sacrament of Penance so sin only applies to knowing you are doing wrong as a a catechized Catholic. While it is not a sin for you, you should refrain from this, and seek the RCIA program. Most programs start in the fall and end with Communion and Confirmation at the Easter Vigil.
