From the Catechism. 789. "The comparison of the Church with the body casts light on the intimate bond between Christ and his Church. Not only is she gathered around him; she is united in him, in his body. Three aspects of the Church as the Body of Christ are to be more specifically noted: the unity of all her members with each other as a result of their union with Christ; Christ as head of the Body; and the Church as BRIDE of Christ.

Would you agree that all baptized believers, non-Catholics included, are part of this Body of Christ?

What is your take on the "subsists"?

Yes I would. However I would add that baptized non Catholics are united imperfectly with his church.

The full deposit of faith that was transmitted from Christ to the Apostles is alive and well in the Catholic Church.
