OK - could you tell me, as a non-Catholic teaching in a Catholic school, what is wrong with the term ‘wafer’ in this case. I hear it quite regularly, along with ‘host’ and if there is a faux pas to be avoided I’d like to know.

To me, wafer could be any kind of cracker.

This is a consecrated host made of unleavened bread. Two main differences.
