Instead of leaving your gift at the altar, Evangelical determines who is in right standing and refuses communion if he determines they aren’t.

If the altar is related to the communion table then my comment about multiple altars or let's say, multiple communion tables, makes sense.

If the altar is the cross, then how does one practically apply:

Leave there your gift before the altar, and go your way; first be reconciled to your brother, and then come and offer your gift.

There is actually no biblical command that one must be reconciled before taking communion. However we apply the principle mentioned in said verse, to taking communion.

Or we could just disregard the verse altogether, and consider it part of a Jewish command that gentiles don't have to keep.
