Whether you believe in the Eucharist as elaborated in scripture (Gospels, Corinthians, Revelations etc) is your own choice, my aim is to point out the error in saying that the mass is in any way a re-killing or re-sacrifice of Christ in any way. It is not.

Then tell me why your doctrines state that receiving the Eucharist is "salvific"? Why does a person's eternal state of their soul rely on attending Mass specifically with the intent of receiving the Eucharist? And why is missing Mass considered a grave sin?

hmm... you've quoted wrongly.

Doctrine says that the precious blood of Christ is salvific and eucharistic. Christ's sacrifice on the cross is salvific sacrifice. The eucharist is a participation in this salvific sacrifice.

You, boatbums, do believe that Christ's sacrifice on the cross was salvific, right? That a person's eternal state of their soul rely on acknowledging this, right? By this sacrifice, He pours out the graces of salvation.
