If you are in mortal sin, can you receive communion if you plan to do confession after mass, or would that be doing another mortal sin?

Catechism:
1385 To respond to this invitation we must prepare ourselves for so great and so holy a moment. St. Paul urges us to examine our conscience: "Whoever, therefore, eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of profaning the body and blood of the Lord. Let a man examine himself, and so eat of the bread and drink of the cup. For any one who eats and drinks without discerning the body eats and drinks judgment upon himself."216 Anyone conscious of a grave sin must receive the sacrament of Reconciliation before coming to communion.
(grave sin =mortal sin)
Confession first.
One may then ask for Communion “outside Mass” afterwards…

The best thing to do (if possible) is to arrive at the church early and ask the priest to hear your confession before mass. They usually don’t mind.
