Question
If someone is a guest at the home of a person who does not observe mitzvot, and they are offered to eat cold food from porcelain dishes that have not been immersed, is it permissible to eat from them?
Answer
It is permissible. Since it is a double doubt in a rabbinic prohibition, and there is no possibility to immerse them.

Shulchan Aruch, Yoreh De'ah, Siman 120.
Immersion of glassware is rabbinic, and there is doubt if it is glass-coated, and even if coated, there is a dispute if it is obligated (there, Se'if 1), and the obligation of immersing glassware is rabbinic.
