Yes
Anyone can approach the altar with his arms crossed over his chest to receive a blessing.
With love in Christ.

Of course. All are welcome to go to receive a blessing, even if they are not Catholics. Just get in line like everyone else, to get the priest or Eucharistic minister, arms cross with an "X" like training on your chest by placing each hand on opposite shoulder. Ex right hand over the left shoulder and left hand on the right shoulder. Then, perhaps bob its head in an arc light or say "Amen" after the blessing and return to his seat.

If you're not Catholic, can not take communion, so do not go into programming. However, the priest gives a blessing to all arrived just before the conclusion of the Mass and the blessing given to you.

absolutely! just go up with folded hands like everyone else. right before it's your turn, place your hands and cross over yourself - like an X in the right hand toward the left shoulder and vice versa!

Yes, top with arms crossed on his chest - in the hands of men.

I wonder if you can detect a non-Catholic?

I just look up when you're near you and say: "Could you please …"
