Roman Catholics like to try to claim that they are just taking Jesus "literally" when they interpret "this is my body" to mean that what was in Jesus' hands was not bread but his physical body

Why does junk -- I use the word after due consideration -- like this ALWAYS point the finger at "Roman Catholics," and the proceed to trash a belief that's held equally by Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, traditional Lutherans, and traditional Anglicans?

I tend to think it's because "Roman Catholic" is some sort of talismanic boogie man to a large part of the evangelical Protestant world, and that's really what this is all about.

Because it's become just another form of Rabbinical Judaism without the Talmudic teaching that Christ is burning in Hell.

When you consider the fact that various factions adopt things like dispensationalism and the Rapture based on the teaching of an individual in spite of such things having never been taught prior to that individual it's clear that most Protestant factions do indeed have the equivalent of Talmudic teaching that they consider superior to Scripture.

Not really surprising given the fact that fundamental to all Protestant doctrine is the assertion that the Holy Spirit is imperfect and implicit in that assertion is the replacement of the Holy Spirit with the Self and Self Alone

I would guess it's because the other religions you mentioned aren't dumb enough to claim they are the one true church that Jesus founded...And that no one can attain eternal life except that they believe the fables your religion invented...

Cause usually it's roman catholics who are posting on this board. But if it makes you fell any better the same would apply to any group advocating the false positions of Rome.
