Is it possible to do this without ever participating in a Roman Catholic church mass? Is it possible for me, presuming I remain a non-Roman Catholic from now until the first death?

The only fitting worship of God the Father is the sacrifice of Jesus upon the Cross. With the celebration of the Mass this one sacrifice is presented to us so that we can join ourselves with Jesus in this sacrifice. This is why Jesus gave us the command to "do this in memory of me." The "this" is not just a communal meal but the new Paschal sacrifice that began with the Last Supper and was completed on the Cross.

Yes, this is similar to what many other Roman Catholics have posted here over the years and yet is not in complete agreement with what other Roman Catholics have said about the RCC mass. Which one of you is correct? Only you?

Are you aware that Lord Jesus Christ (Jesus of Nazareth, son of Mary and Son of God) is no longer a corpse situated on the cross but has risen from the grave to be seated NOW alive with the Father in Heaven and preparing for His return to this realm?

The sacrifice WAS INDEED FINISHED AT THE CROSS approximately 2000 years ago. Jesus even proclaimed it so 'tetelesai' in Aramaic means 'it is finished'. ONLY Jesus can Sacrifice His blood and Body for our Salvation. He did it ONCE for ALL forever. as proclaimed clearly in the Bible (Hebrews 10 8 First he said, “Sacrifices and offerings, burnt offerings and sin offerings you did not desire, nor were you pleased with them”—though they were offered in accordance with the law. 9 Then he said, “Here I am, I have come to do your will.” He sets aside the first to establish the second. 10 And by that will, we have been made holy through the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all.)

The Catholic Priest has no authority to 'bring Christ down to the Catholic altar to continue this Once for ALL sacrifice, only Jesus has that authority. And He sits at the right hand of the Father, in Heaven, waiting until The Ftaher makes His enemies His footstool.

Romans 12:1-2 comes immediately to mind.
