However, he willed that the effects and merits of his sacrifice be given continually to the Church.

Not only no, but it appears you don't understand why Jesus willing sacrificed His life...

We were sick, and when I say we, I mean born again Christians...Jesus offered the medicine...And we took the medicine...We took the cure...We are now well...

Because we took that medicine, we have become the Body of Jesus Christ, the church...

Jesus didn't die for the church...Jesus died for the sick...

Jesus willed that the effects and merits of his own, once for all sacrifice be given continually to the poor and needy in spirit, the sick, who after they take the medicine, will then in turn, be added to the church...
