"Anyway, Catholics believe that through the working of the Holy Spirit, bread and wine are transformed into the Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity (transubstantiation) of Jesus Christ (under the physical appearance of bread and wine)."
So you believe by having this physical eating of the Lord you help secure your salvation? That would be consistant with this....
"The Church affirms that for believers the sacraments of the New Covenant are necessary for salvation." Pg. 292, #1129
"There are seven sacraments in the Church: Baptism, Confirmation or Chrismation, Eucharist, Penance, Anointing of the Sick, Holy Orders, and Matrimony." Pg. 289, #1113
But it is contrary to this....
Jhn 3:15 That whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have eternal life.
Jhn 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Jhn 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
Jhn 3:36 He that believeth on the Son hath everlasting life: and he that believeth not the Son shall not see life; but the wrath of God abideth on him.
Jhn 5:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life.
Jhn 6:35 And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Jhn 6:40 And this is the will of him that sent me, that every one which seeth the Son, and believeth on him, may have everlasting life: and I will raise him up at the last day.
Jhn 6:47 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me hath everlasting life.
Act 2:21 And it shall come to pass, [that] whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Act 16:30 And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?
Act 16:31 And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.
Rom 10:9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
Rom 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
Rom 10:13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
All your sacraments are works that we can do, and that is contrary to this...
Eph 2:8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: [it is] the gift of God:
Eph 2:9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
"One either believes it, or rejects it."
I reject the doctrine of physically eating our savior through the unbiblical magic of transubstantiation for salvation.

"I reject the doctrine of physically eating our savior through the unbiblical magic of transubstantiation for salvation."
Ok.
But it's not "magic." It's by the power of the Holy Spirit.
I'll remember you in prayers and I hope you'll do as well for me. I've enjoyed the dialog with you.
