Well I've never made that claim, and I haven't ever seen Clare73 make that claim. Nor have I seen Clare73 post a school of thought that I've never seen before. So I don't see how that's telling the truth.
In my church, we have the Eucharist four times a week, but I only participate once. I personally believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist, though I don't think I subscribe to the idea that it becomes His literal body and blood. I know that some members of the congregation do believe in transubstantiation though.
When I was growing up I had a next-door neighbor friend who was Catholic and I attended Mass with him and took communion with him, because neither he nor anyone else told me I wasn't allowed to. We were around 12 at the time so I doubt he knew that and the priest had no way of knowing I wasn't Catholic.
Q: Why doesn’t the Catholic Church share communion with non-Catholics? - Adoremus
A: Whereas many Protestant denominations allow Christians who are not members of their denominations to receive communion in their services, the Catholic Church does not. Because many do not understand the reasoning behind this prohibition, some people feel offended by the Church’s insistence...adoremus.org
Oh sure. I think that happens a lot. Sadly a lot of Catholics are not really educated in their faith. But kids, it’s pretty much to be expected. And we all know what Jesus said about the little ones.

As long as you consume it, it’s all good.I remember he got annoyed because I chewed the wafer instead of sucking on it. But I'm not sure how official that ruling was
What I find gross is when I drink wine from the chalice and I notice a little piece of wafer floating around In there that obviously came from someone else’s mouth!As long as you consume it, it’s all good.
It’s happened a couple of times recently!
Michie, Riley, Xeno, Valetta etc I follow just fine. But in your case, you're right, I don't follow.
I forgot to put all the answers regarding spiritual matters, since I anticipated a response of this nature.
Not all. Those who respond to the call aren't lost. Revelation 18:4; 2 Corinthians 6:14-17

Actually, the only Chalice that has a piece of the Body of Christ is the Priests. The precious blood that is distributed to the faithful contains no hosts.No the priest breaks off a little piece of the host to put in it when he consecrates it.
Yes. Some Protestants, such as Anglicans, Lutherans, and Episcopalians believe in the real presence of Christ in Communion. Moravians, Methodists, and Presbyterian/Reformed believe in a spiritual presence.

The rubrics of the Mass link the meaning of the fraction to the commingling, stating: “Meanwhile, [the priest] takes the host and breaks it over the paten. He places a small piece in the chalice, saying inaudibly: 'May this mingling of the Body and Blood of our Lord Jesus Christ bring eternal life to us who receive it.

She’s Anglican. I wonder if they always take the host and chalice? I really don’t know.
In the monastery that was attached to my college, I always received both the host and precious blood during daily mass. I was never worried about the sisters’ germs, my immune system is strong enoughOne of the sweetest ladies I know asked me a question the other day that had been bothering her for a very long time. It was one of those questions that you don’t exactly know how to ask—much less, who to ask.
“I’ve been noticing something at daily Mass,” she began very timidly, as sweet older ladies do. “And it only happens at daily Mass,” she explained, “when we drink from the priest’s chalice.”
“I know Father doesn’t mean to, and I don’t blame him. I’m sure it’s only an accident, you see.” She hesitated getting to her main point.
“There’s always a bit of—uh. In the chalice, there’s always a bit of—how do I say?”
“Jesus?” I asked, saving her the trouble. “There’s always a bit of the host in the chalice?”
“Yes!” She said. “How did you know? Is it common for priests to backwash?”
“Backwash?!” I said, and I couldn’t help but laugh. “Oh no! The host places a piece of the host in the chalice on purpose. And it’s only at daily Mass, it seems–since you don’t need the whole Sunday Mass set of chalices–that everybody drinks from the priest’s chalice.”
