Quote:About half of those polled (52%) say, incorrectly, that Catholicism teaches that the bread and wine used for Communion are symbols of the body and blood of Jesus. Just four-in-ten people correctly answer that, according to the Catholic Church, the bread and wine actually become the body and blood of Jesus. Even many Catholics are unaware of their church’s teaching on this topic; while 55% of Catholics get the question right, more than four-in-ten Catholics (41%) say the church teaches that the bread and wine are symbols of Christ’s body and blood, and 3% say they do not know what the church’s teaching is. Still, Catholics perform better on this question than does any other religious group.
Most chtistians don't know what they believe, or why they are supposed believe it.

Catholics are required to believe in transubstantiation. To fail to do so makes one not a Catholic. Thus, all Catholics, without exception and by definition, believe that the bread and wine become the body and blood of Christ.
To forestall the inevitable objection, this isn't a NTS issue - this is the doctrine of the Church. Their game, their rules.
