Your thinking as to the significance of the Eucharist doesn't govern the Catholic Church's understanding of it.

It is in any church I've ever attended.

Because the critical point is Christ, not whether you're a member (in good standing of course) of that denomination

In your church it may be a remembrance...In the Catholic church it is HIM.
