Eucharist Cleanses us from Sin "For this reason the Eucharist cannot unite us to Christ without at the same time cleansing us from past sins and preserving us from future sins:" (Pg. 390, #1393 "By the same charity that it enkindles in us, the Eucharist preserves us from future mortal sins." (Pg. 390, #1395) | The Blood of Jesus Cleanses us From Sin (a) The cleansing of your past sins is not done by a wafer which is given in an "unbloody manner."
(b) The wafer does not preserve you from future sins. If it did, you would be sinless by now. Obviously it is not working. However, there is a way you can protect yourself from sin, and that is abiding in God's word:

The Eucharist Helps Dead People "The Eucharistic sacrifice is also offered for the faithful departed who 'have died in Christ but are not yet wholly purified, so that they may be able to enter into the light and peace of Christ.'" (Pg. 382, # 1371 "In the Eucharist, the Church expresses her efficacious communion with the departed..." (Pg. 469, #1689) | It's Too Late for the Dead (a) No such doctrine exists, nor any Biblical character in the Bible ever mentions that partaking of the Lord's supper (not Eucharist) would help the dead. Each man will give an account of himself, of what he did with Jesus--NOT what the living do.
(b) A person enters heaven based solely upon what Christ did at the Cross. The living do not give the departed loved ones Salvation. We cannot earn them righteousness. It is too late to say prayers after a loved one is dead.
(c) For a loved one to get to heaven, he must first place his trust in Jesus while he is ALIVE, otherwise he is condemned already. Prayers will be too late after death.
(d) To trust in a religion or a person for Salvation after death means one is not trusting in Christ. If you die without Jesus Christ, the WRATH of God abideth on you, and no prayer will help you whether it be by relative or friend after your death.
(e) Partaking of the "Eucharist," does not pacify God's wrath. After death, judgment. Don't leave this earth with the wrath of God abiding on you. Place your trust in Jesus NOW.
(f) If you truly love Jesus and want to make it to heaven, do what He says.
(g) The prayers of your loved ones will not save you from a fictitious place called "purgatory." It's either heaven or hell when you die. At the judgment seat, you will no longer be able to claim you didn't know, for God already warned you:
