You can use FB.getLoginStatus to get the info you want.

The first time in the current browser session that FB.getLoginStatus is called, or the JS SDK is init'd with status: true, the response object will be cached by the SDK. Subsequent calls to FB.getLoginStatus will return data from this cached response.

Example from documentation:

FB.getLoginStatus(function(response) {
  if (response.status === 'connected') {
    // the user is logged in and has authenticated your
    // app, and response.authResponse supplies
    // the user's ID, a valid access token, a signed
    // request, and the time the access token 
    // and signed request each expire
    var uid = response.authResponse.userID;
    var accessToken = response.authResponse.accessToken;
  } else if (response.status === 'not_authorized') {
    // the user is logged in to Facebook, 
    // but has not authenticated your app
  } else {
    // the user isn't logged in to Facebook.
  }
});
