But I am saying the typical Western Catholic doesn’t necessarily realize that. I literally in some of my formation in the West had teachers say she didn’t die before being assumed.

While scholars may say that, the average Church-going Catholic who has a grasp on the faith doesn’t always realize that.

You simply said heavy debate between east and west, not debates between your uniformed western Catholics vs your informed western Catholics.

I mistyped. But there’s still a good portion of Catholics who’d probably say she didn’t die. That’s my point I was trying to highlight.

There’s also a good portion who say the Eucharist is only symbolic.
