Can you receive the sacraments in the Roman Catholic Church if you are baptised in Anglican church?
The Catholic church only recognizes one baptism, therefore, if you were baptized protestant, you do not get baptized again if you convert to Catholicism. You will, however, have to go through classes before being able to receive your first communion. If you do this as an adult, you attend RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) and you will receive your communion and confirmation in the same mass.
Can you repent and join the Catholic Church?
Yes. Anyone who feels drawn to the Catholic Church is invited to study its doctrines and can receive baptism and the other sacraments. Christians who have already been baptized and who, after studying Catholic doctrine, desire to become a part of the Church do not receive a second baptism ("we believe in one baptism for the forgiveness of sin" - Credo), but are welcomed into the Church in a special ceremony called the Rite of Christian Initiation of an Adult, or RCIA.
What is a Christian inataiton ceremony?
The initiation rite in any Christian churches is called 'Confirmation' - it is the act of confirming the beliefs and commitments initially made on a child's behalf by its parents and/or sponsors. In some churches, such as the Baptist Church, a profession or confession of faith usually precedes the act of adult baptism which is thus an initiation rite. In all instances, what is happening is a declaration of PERSONAL faith followed by an act of acceptance and welcome by the church congregation and wider community.
What is a culmination of your initiation to the Church?
Roman Catholic AnswerThere are three sacraments of Initiation into the Church, they would be Baptism, Confirmation, and the Eucharist. For an adult coming into the Church, or an infant in the Eastern Rites, the culmination is the Eucharist, all three are administered together in these two instances with the Eucharist being the Culmination. In the Latin Rite, confirmation would be the Culmination as you would receive it last.

What does Confirmation enable us to do?
It is confirming your religion and that you are basically an adult in the eyes of "god" and in order to get married in the catholic church, you have to receive confirmation. I'm not sure what it does for other christian religions.
What stages do you go through to become a Catholic?
The process necessary to become a Catholic takes different forms depending on the situation a person is in. Children under the age of seven become Catholic at their baptism, that they receive after their parents and God parents take a preparation class at a Catholic parish. Adults go through a process called RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adult). There is an RCIA form adapted for children older than seven. At the end of this process you receive the three sacraments of initiation which are Baptism, Confirmation, and Holy Communion thus becoming Catholic. There is an exception for those non Catholics who have been baptized in other Christians denominations. If the church validate their baptism then after going through RCIA they become Catholic by just receiving the sacrament of reconciliation, and the other two sacrament of initiation which are confirmation and Holy Communion.
