Wow. Thank you for those excellent posts. You did a great job of breaking it down.

you're welcome, but the real credit goes to our non-Catholic friends who ask the same thing over and over again, so I just typed out what I normally reply, expanded it with direct quotes from scripture and show our friends like jmouse that the real problem is that the Church follows scripture, the Faith handed down from Christ through the Apostles and many of our friends outside the Church do not follow God's word

God has said so clearly in John 6, repeated in the Pauline Epistles about the Eucharist

Similarly for Baptism for the Remission of sins.

The core reason why people like jmouse (good, Christian people) is because their religious groups have rejected bibilical, scriptural doctrines like the Eucharist and Confession and Baptism for the remission of Sins (incidently our Lutheran and Anglican Protestant brethern believe in the True Presence, in Confession and Baptism for the remission of sins, so it is only some non-Catholic groups that disagree)
