The Bible does not assert that but I think it assumes that.
As soon as a person believes in Jesus' death on the cross for his sins, he should quickly get baptized. Belief and baptism go hand in hand together. What's he waiting for? Get baptized and participate at the Lord's table.
Is baptism required before a person can receive communion?
It is a good rule of thumb but I would not be dogmatic about it. I would relax the rule for the person who has a working plan to get baptized.
If a church requires membership before a person can receive communion, then I'd go to another church.
