“Which means it would be done again, and again, and again. “

We agree the memorial is repeated as He commands, but there is no literal body or blood. We do it in memory of His actual sacrifice until He returns. Nor is their a need or command for representation. It is finished.

There is - and that is how Christians always understood it.

“We do it in memory of His actual sacrifice until He returns. Nor is their a need or command for representation.”

Re-presentation. Not representation.

“It is finished.”

Yep. And Christ’s sacrifice can be offered to the Father at every Mass or Divine Liturgy precisely because it is finished.
