Your comment: I ate your Catholic wafer twice so as far as you teach, I’m as good as in heaven...

You might want to study a little more and believe in what Jesus provides for one who is properly prepared to receive our Lord’s Body and Blood.

For your sake, please do not take His Body and Blood unworthily. Please do not mock our Lord.

Also consider St Paul’s advice:
1 Cor 11:23-29
For I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus, on the night he was handed over, took bread, and, after he had given thanks, broke it and said, “This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me.” In the same way also the cup, after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.” For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the death of the Lord until he comes. Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord unworthily will have to answer for the body and blood of the Lord. A person should examine himself, and so eat the bread and drink the cup. For anyone who eats and drinks without discerning the body, eats and drinks judgment on himself.

More error.

1 Cor 11:20-22 is the only place that manifestly describes how the Lord's supper took place in the life of the church, and in which "discerning the body" refers to recognizing each member as part of the body of Christ, in showing the Lord's sacrificial death by that communal meal, rather than to "shame them that have not" by not even waiting for the others but going ahead and filling their faces while others were hungry.

Which was utterly contrary to the Lord's sacrificial death by which He purchased the church with His own sinless shed blood, (Acts 20:28) and which again, they were supposed to be showing, declaring, by taking part in the communal meal of the Lord's supper.

As shown more here .

Even the notes in your NAB Bible recognize this:.

[11:27] It follows that the only proper way to celebrate the Eucharist is one that corresponds to Jesus’ intention, which fits with the meaning of his command to reproduce his action in the proper spirit. If the Corinthians eat and drink unworthily, i.e., without having grasped and internalized the meaning of his death for them, they will have to answer for the body and blood, i.e., will be guilty of a sin against the Lord himself (cf. 1 Cor 8:12).

[11:28] Examine himself: the Greek word is similar to that for “approved” in 1 Cor 11:19, which means “having been tested and found true.” The self-testing required for proper eating involves discerning the body (1 Cor 11:29), which, from the context, must mean understanding the sense of Jesus’ death (1 Cor 11:26), perceiving the imperative to unity that follows from the fact that Jesus gives himself to all and requires us to repeat his sacrifice in the same spirit (1 Cor 11:18–25).

Moreover, the NT church never was a church that manifested the Lord's supper as being the central means of grace, around which all else revolved, it being “the source and summit of the Christian faith” in which “the work of our redemption is accomplished,” by which one received spiritual life in themselves, so that without which eating one cannot have eternal life (as per RC literalism, of Jn. 6:53,54).

In contrast believing the gospel is shown as being how one is regenerated, (Acts 10:43-47; 15:7-9; Eph. 1:13) and thus is to desire the milk (1Pt. 2:2) and then the “strong meat” (Heb. 5:12-14) of the word of God, being “nourished” (1Tim. 4:6) by hearing the word of God and letting it dwell in them, (Col. 3:16) by which word (Scriptures) man is to live by, (Mt. 4:4) as Christ lived by the Father, (Jn. 6:57) doing His will being His “meat.” (Jn. 4:34)
