Im sorry, but I dont believe anybody ever shoved a consecrated communion host down your throat. In lieu of that, I dont believe anything you say. You've never heard of hyperbole? No, it wasn't literally jammed down my throat, but it was done to a 10 year old boy who had no idea about what was going and really wanted no part of it. As a Protestant, the choice to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and Savior is a decision made by each individual. It's not forced onto children who don't even have the maturity to understand what's going on. As a Protestant, my 17 year old grandson made that decision on his own. No one forced it onto him. It was his choice and his choice alone. That's how it should be.

I went to a Protestant church camp when I was a kid. Well, lo and behold, they wanted to manipulate me into asking Jesus into my heart. I was already a believer and church goer but it was the usual you must do it this way or it doesn't count bs.
I'm a Catholic now and pleased as punch about it.
