The Church doesn't have "alter" boys. It has an alter Christus and altar servers, some of whom are boys. I know a number of Catholics who claim they are former altar boys...Are they lying???

"I know a number of Catholics who claim they are former altar boys...Are they lying???"Why would you presume lying as opposed to any other explanation? Prior to 1983 all altar servers were boys and were frequently referred to altar boys (not alter boys).
Canon 230 of the Code of Canon Law promulgated in 1983 allowed local ordinaries to permit girls and women to so function as altar servers. Not all have done so.

The distinction between altar and alter has flown over that BB rattling around in your grape.
