Here's the problem: You think that the "Liturgy of the Word" included the "gospel" because is is described HERE like this:

The high point of the Liturgy of the Word is the reading of the Gospel. Because the Gospels tell of the life, ministry, and preaching of Christ, it receives several special signs of honor and reverence. The gathered assembly stands to hear the Gospel and it is introduced by an acclamation of praise. Apart from Lent, that acclamation is "Alleluia," derived from a Hebrew phrase meaning "Praise the Lord!" A deacon (or, if no deacon is present, a priest) reads the Gospel.

Your ERROR is confusing the "Gospel" with the four "gospels" ("...the life, ministry, and preaching of Christ"). It's okay to be confused. It's not okay to hear the truth and walk away.

This is the Gospel I'm referring to and it is not typically the message of any "homily", "liturgy of the word", or the entire teaching of the RCC regarding salvation (because of Gal 3, see above.)

Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain. For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance : that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve.
