The Eucharist taken in a state of grace (compare 1 Cor 11:27) is necessary and sufficient for salvation. This is why it is given to the dying.

How are Protestants and other non-Catholics saved, then?

Excepting the Orthodox, who have valid Eucharist also, the others are saved through the boundless mercy of Christ, provided they desire to commune with the Catholic Church and repent of their sins. There is no ordinary means of salvation for them though, past baptism.
