when and if you have the opportunity, yes. a newly born infant has an excuse, what’s yours?

First, your answer, while consistent with a literal interpretation of this passage of Scripture, does not align with Catholic teaching. Why is that? Second, I have taken the Eucharist several hundred times. I must be good to go, right?

Maybe, maybe not.

27 So then, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord. 28 Everyone ought to examine themselves before they eat of the bread and drink from the cup. 29 For those who eat and drink without discerning the body of Christ eat and drink judgment on themselves. 30 That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep.

If you're in a state of grace, you're good to "go."

I don't know what paths (if any) by which the Lord makes available sanctifying grace to those outside the Church who, after baptism, lose the state of sanctifying grace by mortal sin, so I have no idea whether you're good to go.

However, if you're not in a state of sanctifying grace, I can assure you that you are not "good to go." But only God knows the true state of your soul at present.
