Not quite. Actually, not at all. What Catholics do is claim that when a certain fellow chants a phrase over some wafer and wine, they can pretend that it becomes the body and blood of Jesus. They openly crucify Him again and conduct a pagan scene of re-enacting His execution. The Scriptures simply say to eat and drink in remembrance of Him. May wish to read the rest of the story.

Hebrews 6:1-6 Therefore let us leave the elementary doctrine of Christ and go on to maturity, not laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works and of faith toward God, and of instruction about washings, the laying on of hands, the resurrection of the dead, and eternal judgment. And this we will do if God permits. For it is impossible, in the case of those who have once been enlightened, who have tasted the heavenly gift, and have shared in the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the goodness of the word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, to restore them again to repentance, since they are crucifying once again the Son of God to their own harm and holding him up to contempt. For land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.

Which in effect, nullifies the Catholic concept of sinning and then going to confession before being able to take communion again. laying again a foundation of repentance from dead works.

They crucify Him every mass, trampling underfoot the blood of Christ.

It's on again, off again salvation, which this passage condemns.

Why do you keep saying this, when you know, yourself, that it's not true?

Yes, this is the tragedy of the "ceremonial execution".
