Can I participate without actually "being" a Catholic?

[bpp85]

Hi, i was a Jehovah’s witness for all my life,and about a year i was studying about Catholics(your page was the best resource for me) and i want to became one since i realized that this is the true church. But the problem is this - my parents are still JWs, and i still cannot celebrate any holidays, or have religious pictures or pray the rosary, so i have to do all this in secret and the hardest part is that they forbid me to became a catholic as long as i’m under "there roof“. I was in a church only 2 times and i felt like on outsider because i couldn’t participate in Holy Communion. So can i attend the Catholic Church without actually “being” a Catholic for a longer time, since i’m 21 and i don’t know how long i’ll be under “there roof”.
And a couple of side questions:

1. Can i go to confession also since i’m not baptized?
2. In the communion we take only the body of Christ and not the blood is that a sin?
3. Can you describe to me a process of a baptism in a Catholic church (of adults of course)?

Thank you.
Boris

Hi Boris,

Until you are baptized in the Catholic Church, you may not receive any other sacraments. So you should not be receiving it. It is perfectly alright to attend Mass without receiving Holy Communion. I suggest that you contact a Catholic parish and tell them that you would like to become a Catholic. They will give you information about the local RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) classes you will need to attend. You are in our prayers.
