The Catholic Church would probably recommend that someone who held so many opinions contrary to the Church refrain from communion, but this is hardly excommunication; quite the contrary: the Church asserts that following such an obedience while still seeking faith is a blessed act.

Speaking of communion, can any fellow walk in off the street into an LDS organization meeting house and partake of communion with the LDS members?

Taking the sacrament is to renew the covenant made at baptism. Those who have not been baptized into our church don’t have a covenant to renew so they can partake of it if they wish, but there is no spiritual benefit (or harm) to them in doing so. Parents are encouraged to have their unbaptized children to take it as a means of developing a good habit and teaching them what it is about.
