One who attends a Mass is going to be influenced, I hope, by the entire thing, which includes verbatim readings from Scripture plus a teaching on the meaning and application of the Scripture just read.
Considering that our Mass is divided into equal parts Word and Eucharist, I would hope they work together to influence the churchgoer. I don't see why you would oppose the two, as if they are competing. If that is what you are getting at.
I can say what a non-liturgical type of Protestant experiences if they attend a service cause I've never been. The liturgical Protestant, of course, follows a similar pattern as the Catholic.

My question is really directed to one's entire christian experience, ... as opposed to just considering the Mass.

It was just a question, Dave.
Jokus and I have been discussing methodologies.
