Understand that the Catholic Church believes that the host and wine are the Body and Blood of Christ (Transubstantiation) Other Christian denominations use the host as merely a "represntative" of that.

The RC church holds that if you do not believe that the host and wine are NOT the ACTUAL body and blood of Christ---you should not receive communion.

There is no re-assessment needed.

As I said earlier this week, the Eucharist represents the true presence of Jesus Christ to Catholics

I don't like how this is phrased. I think the word "is" is clearer.

Thanks for all your input. I think if you read this quoted part carefully, you may want to change it.
