They actually believe that Christ is once again "killed" (immolated) on that altar.

Wrong. You misunderstand the word itself -- "immolare" in Latin means "to sacrifice," not necessarily "to kill". It comes from the word "mola," meaning "(grain) meal". The Roman pagan priests sprinkled grain meal over their sacrifices, evidently.

Jesus is sacrificed in the Mass, but not re-sacrificed, and most certainly not "re-killed". That is not even possible.

Oh no you don't. Try to twist isn't going to work for you. The word used in the statement from Trent is emmolated NOT "immolare".

Emmolate - To kill (an animal, for instance) as a religious sacrifice.

Latin immolātus,

immolāre to sprinkle with meal prior to sacrificing, sacrifice

The statement from Trent is:

"that same Christ is contained and immolated in an unbloody manner, who once offered Himself in a bloody manner on the altar of the cross"

Christ is immolated (killed) and it then clarifies. "who once offered Himself".

They are saying that Christ who once offered Himself is once again being killed and offered.

You are participating in a re sacrifice of Christ.
