It has more to do with politics than dogma. Each believes they have the true faith, although belonged to the same church before the great schism. Now, the services have significant differences of style, but the dogma is basically intact.

Anyone whom is not Catholic can not take Communion, even catholics that have not been to confession can't get it. A little selfish with the "bread/body of Christ" huh?!
No offense- if it means so much just follow the flock and no one will ever know. just reply "amen" when you receive it.
Step just two lengths a side of server- look up at Christ and Make the sign of the cross-head/chest then left/right upper chest/shoulder, kiss your hand. Most will nod their head toward the Virgin Mary as a sign of respect.
Go back to your seat kneel and pray for a minute then join in the song.
After 30 years (lifetime) I left the Catholic faith and the experience of religious educator since I was age 15. I knew that being a "nun" was as far as I could go and that wasn't good enough for me. [No offense to the sister's- I respect that choice- it wasn't mine- honestly I love being mom & married] Then five years later became a Universal Unitarian Minister for the last eight years.
Serving my community and my beliefs by acceptance of others beliefs. Its a real big world, to limit a few to heaven is just redicloious to me. God is in everything and everyone, if they chose to believe it. No matter what name that culture gives God and the tradtions and rules they apply towards praying for love and guidence

The Catholic Church laws dictate that only Catholics (not all Christians) can receive Holy Communion in their churches.

you shouldnt take communion if you dont believe in what that religion teaches...its a bit disrespectful and kind of blasphemous.
