Same way at the church I'm attending. And a communion table open to all. Also,
they don't pass a plate or make a big scene about collecting money either. There's a wooden box in the back of the church where you can give your financial gift. You can put it in a envelope with your name on it for tax purposes if you want to, or give privately.
Just so you understand communion is a big deal to the Lord and He doesn't want people taking it to their own damnation not realising what it is intended for and the minister is also held accountable to God for those taking it. I wouldn't want to be in that position CARELESSLY.

Yeah, I know all too well the various verses the church uses to justify their often barbaric behavior. But, just like these verses, they seldom seem to ever say what is claimed.
I think you should approach leadership in a non-member church (or they should approach you), discuss your confession of Christ with them, and decide from that whether you should (be allowed to) participate in communion.
I was brought up in a Methodist Church. When it was time for me to start going to a church as an adult, I suppose I was most comfortable going to another (United) Methodist Church. Churches are more about people, than anything else, I think.
