Way back in the day when I worked for the Big Green Machine (1965 - 1968) Protestant ministers could give communion, do mass and vise versa for Catholic priests. Also, Catholics were given an exemption from eating fish on Friday.

Protestant ministers most certainly could not “do mass” in lieu of a priest. They could perhaps assist at a communion service and do other pastoral tasks, but a valid Mass requires a validly ordained priest or bishop. If a priest, he also requires permission (”faculties”) to say Mass from a bishop with the authority to give it.

Um, as a Catholic you can physically attend a Protestant service, but I don't think the Church has ever approved Protestants pretending to be priests, outside of emergency last rites. Maybe.

To my knowledge most Protestants still do communion, but they don't believe in the Presence, to them it's just a quick Sunday morning snack. (Side note, do Baptists do the communion wine, or it that too much alcohol in public for them?)
