In an Anglican church, we invite everyone to take communion whatever denomination, if they are are in good standing with their church.

If I enter a Catholic church, why can I not take communion. Am I not good enough ?

 To answer that question, I would like to ask what your beliefs are regarding communion. There are three different beliefs among Anglicans, so my answer may depend on which belief is held in your church. One of the beliefs is that of transubstantiation, the belief held by the Catholic Church, in which we believe that the bread and wine become the Body and Blood of Christ, not symbolically or spiritually, but in every way aside from appearance. Another Anglican belief is that Christ is completely present in Communion, but that the bread and wine are not Christ himself. The third belief is that of consubstantiation in which Christ is believed to be present in the sacrament to those who "permit their souls to be radiated with the Holy Spirit at the time of the sacrament."

 The first from your list. Simply, The bread and the wine become the actual body and blood of Christ.
