[Natural Law]

"I can't tell by this answer whether or not you believe that taking the Eucharist is necessary for salvation. Could you clarify?"

Since there are exceptions to the requirement (i.e.; the invincibly ignorant, infants and children, those physically prevented from taking the Eucharist by incarceration, physical disability, etc.) the very legalistic answer would be no. However, imputability aside, Christ did command us to "do this in memory of me".

Jn 6:53 Jesus said to them, "I tell you the truth, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you."

Ah, yes, I see the "exceptions" you speak of implicit in Jesus' words.
