Catholics believe that the Eucharist is the Body and Blood, Soul and Divinity of Christ. Aquinas called it the perfect symbol -- the symbol which is what it signifies. Catholics who believe otherwise are heretics.

Does that mean they are not really Catholics??? Or Christians??? Does your church have a position on this???

Every thing I read says that only 30% of Catholics believe in the presense of Jesus in the Eucharist...That would surely shrink the size of your church if they are not actually Catholics and/or Christians...

No, it means they’re heretics. Granted, in most cases, it’s material rather than formal heresy, i.e., most likely through ignorance. Sad, but it’s no help to tell them they’re right.
