Note what Paul explains, and he receive it from the Lord directly: “For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.” ... until He comes! It is a remembrance because you are to do it until He comes ... meaning He is not yet come to them, to you or me, so we do this in remembrance.

Totally agree with that.
We recognize that at every Eucharist Prayer at every (N.O.) Mass,
so Christ's coming is always on the mind.
There can be different responses we confess, but we always acknowledge the remembrance- as in this:

"When we eat this bread and drink this cup,
we proclaim your death,
Lord Jesus,
until you come in glory."


I still want to know how you personally understand the judgement and condemnation part of how St. Paul attaches to it - as he writes to the Corinthians about this.
Why does St. Paul "go there" ?

Paul is relating the power of the spiritual over the carnal, in that doing the Remembrance unworthily brings the spiritual weight of the admonition against cannibalism down upon the unworthy participant. From way back in Genesis God forbade the eating of blood or eating human flesh. The Council in Acts 15 repeateed this admonition in their instructions to the churches of converted Gentiles. As Paul told the Corinthians,and because of this some have even fallen asleep!

You appear to be unable to spiritually recognize spiritual things, perhaps because of your carnal focus and desire to 'do something to earn Grace'.
