Most Roman Catholic churches politely request that only Roman Catholics receive communion in their services.

An episcopalian would not be explicitly turned away as it would be uncharitable, but they are asked not to take communion.
The Episcopal Church has excommunicated the Catholic Church, which literally means without communion. An Episcopalian technically is endorsing division in the Church and people who endorse division cannot by definition receive communion, so Episcopalians have their own.

No, out of respect they are asked not to receive communion. Protestants and Catholics both have the sacrament of the Eucharist/communion but Catholics believe the bread and wine is actually Jesus's body. The Protestants believe it only represents the body of Jesus. It will be an insult to the Church if an episcopelian receives communion without believing is really Jesus's body.

As a Lutheran, you're to not take communion on the different church... basically the Lutheran church. Catholics are an identical way... basically Catholics might commune at a Catholic Mass. there's a distinction in what we have confidence approximately communion. Catholic coaching... transubstantiation. whilst it incredibly is blessed, it turns into the physique aand the blood, and is now not bread and wine. basically 2 factors are latest. Lutheran...sacramental union. The physique and the blood are latest in, with, and under the bread and the wine. All 4 factors are latest. @Georges... Lutherans do not throw away what maintains to be after communion. it incredibly is the two ate up with the aid of the Pastor or it incredibly is saved one after the different for use on the subsequent communion. no remember if it incredibly is disposed of, there's a set of regulations that would desire to be observed interior the disposal. you will possibly be able to desire to fully learn what we have confidence, not basically circulate from what you're instructed in Cathechism. our young toddlers had to do definitely examine on ther denominations.

No, but a Catholic may receive communion at an episcopal church.
In fact, anyone who has been baptized may receive communion at an Episcopal church.
Catholic churches require you to have gone through confirmation and first communion at a Catholic church.

At the Last Supper, Jesus said, “Take this bread. It is my body.” The he said, “Take this and drink. This is my blood. Do this in memory of me.”
Catholics believe this was the First Eucharist, that through some miracle the bread and wine actually became the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
Catholics reenact the Last Supper during every Mass, where the priest, acting in place of Christ, changes the bread and wine into the body and blood of Jesus Christ.
This is a great sacrament of thanksgiving and unity of Catholics.
Anyone who does not believe in the actual presence of Christ and is not united with the Catholic faith is asked, out of respect, not to receive the Eucharist.
Catholics, out of respect for other Christian faiths, do not receive Communion in non-Catholic churches.
We pray that one day Christian unity will succeed and we will all be called to the same table.
With love in Christ.

Bottomline, NO!
Only Catholics can take communion at a Catholic church. Special dispensation is required by a bishop to allow that.
No fooling!
