Measure yourselves, Catholics. Read what boatbums wrote explaining the establishing of the Communion of saints (the living Body of Christ here active on Earth).
That you refuse to comprehend what she so clearly explained is symptomatic of what spirit is in you if you believe you eat the body, blood, SOUL and DIVINITY of The Christ. The central tenant of the Catholic Mass is a demonic lie you've been fed.
IF one is a Christian, then that one is alive in their human spirit by the Real Presence of God's Holy Spirit Spark in their human spirit.
When you have God's Spirit in the human spirit, you are, during the Church Age, a part of The Mystical Body of Christ. You do not eat a portion of the body to which you belong as a Christian.
The father of lies, a murderer from the start is the only one who profits from a Catholic believing they can eat the real body and blood AND SOUL AND DIVINITY of GOD. Such blasphemy slides by Catholic radar, showing what Spirit is NoT in catholiciism.
Ignore the question if you wish, but the extant historical records clearly demonstrate that from the early days, the followers of Jesus Christ truly believed that they were consuming His body and blood.
sure it is.
