I should also add, "Has the person made a confession in the past year? Has he/she received the Body of Christ in the last year?"

Exactly, the minimum the Church imposes are these 2 things (along others of course)......not get do either is a mortal sin in and of itself....

1) Has the person been valid baptized? If so, when? Where? Who are the parents, godparents, etc? Has the individual made a first communion, confession, and confirmation?

2) Does the person have explicit faith in Jesus Christ, as the One and Only Son of God, Creator of all that is visible and invisible, as Lord, Redeemer, and Judge of all mankind? Does the person have a belief in an afterlife, a Heaven and a Hell, future Resurrection of the Dead, etc.

3) Does the individual profess the Creeds of the Church, that is, the Nicene, Athanasian (recited all throughout the Middle Ages, but not in recent times), Lateran, etc. Creeds?

4) Can the individual say the Pater Noster or at least some other prayer, even with assistance?

5) Does the individual profess complete and total fidelity, submission, and obedience to all the doctrines and dogmas of the Church?

6) Does the individual profess submission to the Pope, the Vicar of Christ on Earth, and to those bishops who also profess submission to the Pope?

Excellent work!

Knowingly receiving from heretics and schismatics is a mortal sin. Not receiving sacraments when they are not available is not a mortal sin.
