That is symbolic, not literal.
This is also done in Baptist and other Protestant denominations with crackers and grape juice if one is a member of the church. It is called the Lord’s Supper and is done in remembrance of the Lord’s sacrifice. But everyone understands it is symbolic, not anything to do with the physical or actual body of Christ.
It is not the way of receiving Jesus.....the only way to receive Jesus is by placing your trust in Him, repenting of sin, and being filled with the Holy Spirit. It is done one time and one time only and not over and over again thru the taking of bread and wine.
especially when they SAY its the physical body and blood of Christ?
you are correct, in the protestant denominations it is grape juice and crackers....however, in the Catholic Church it is the body, blood, soul, and divinity of Jesus Christ our Lord.....He said so.

As a Southern Baptist, that's what I was going to say. Thanks. After a prayer for the Lords Supper, our pastor says,
"Remember" to signify the sacrifice Christ made for our sins.
That is what the Lords Supper, or communion, is all about. To remember that Christ died for our sins.
