Can you show any biblical referance of where the 'host' was worshipped? Was there even any worship of the litteral boby of Christ while it was dead?

Consistently the RCC will walk on its head to maintain its false idea that it is the only game in town. Then will not even have the guts to say what the council of Trent declared. That all protestents are beyond salvation in any way. What does anathama mean if not that.

That's not what Trent declared, you're never beyond salvation until the moment you die and face judgment. If you die adhering to heretical beliefs then you will be beyond salvation, but where there is breath there is hope. If there was no hope for you why would I bother discussing this with you, silly? And I have no qualms about saying it.

The Host is not dead, so your question doesn't apply.

Don't you think we can define our own terms? "Anathema" was a formal excommunication. The penalty itself no longer exists since 1983. You can't excommunicate a Protestant since they aren't communicants in the first place.

The Church said very clearly in Vatican II that Protestants are not "beyond salvation in any way". Neither, for that matter, is anyone else if, aided by grace, they do God's will to the best of their ability to understand it.
