836 "All men are called to this catholic unity of the People of God. . . . And to it, in different ways, belong or are ordered: the Catholic faithful, others who believe in Christ, and finally all mankind, called by God's grace to salvation."
837 "Fully incorporated into the society of the Church are those who, possessing the Spirit of Christ, accept all the means of salvation given to the Church together with her entire organization, and who - by the bonds constituted by the profession of faith, the sacraments, ecclesiastical government, and communion - are joined in the visible structure of the Church of Christ, who rules her through the Supreme Pontiff and the bishops. Even though incorporated into the Church, one who does not however persevere in charity is not saved. He remains indeed in the bosom of the Church, but 'in body' not 'in heart.'"
You are actually proving my point. Notice in 836 that catholic is not capitolized and in 837 catholic is capitolized. The word "catholic" means "universal" and by adding that the Church of Christ is ruled by the Supreme Pontiff the RCC teaches that salvation comes only through the RCC.
As to "this is My Body", since Jesus was holding a loaf of bread it is obvious to anyone with a modicum of intelligence the bread is symbolic of His body. Transubstantiation is part and parcel of what the RCC teaches concerning the Eucharist, so are you denying transubstantiation to be a fact?
