Is it a mortal sin for a non-Catholic to miss Mass?

[genevieve4]

Is it a sin for someone who is NOT Catholic to not attend Sunday mass?

For example, I am not ignorant of the Catholic teaching that missing mass is a mortal sin, so I’m not “excused” in that sense, but I’m not Catholic. By not going to mass, am I committing a mortal sin and in “serious danger of going to hell”?
