We are the Body of Jesus Christ.

That's a statement that I haven't read before. Could you expound on it a little? It is a concept which is certainly foreign to Protestant theology.

What kind of non Catholic are you?

Protestants believe that the church, made up of the elect is the body of Christ.

Not all protestants. I learned that in my Baptist training as well, “we are His body, and He is our soul”—to quote a Michael Card song. :-)

Of course, other protestant religions may not emphasize that.
