Jesus is present in the WORD (readings and Gospel).
Jesus is present in the PEOPLE.
Jesus is substantially present in the EUCHARIST (Body and Blood).
Roman Catholics believe that it was the first Mass and Jesus established the sacrament Eucharist.
They go to church and attend mass.

Catholics kneel during certain parts of the Mass as a sign of reverence and humility before God. It is a way to show respect and adoration for the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist, which Catholics believe is truly the body and blood of Christ.
Transubstantiation is a belief held by the Catholic Church. Catholics believe that during the Eucharist, the bread and wine become the actual body and blood of Jesus Christ. This belief is celebrated during the Mass by Catholics around the world.
I do not believe that Canon Law forbids it; however, pious Catholics would object to the gifts being presented at Mass for consecration to be presented by a non-Catholic (who knows what they believe). If, however, the people were in the RCIA program (studying to become Catholics), it would be acceptable. Here is a link with information on the Code of Canon Law regarding the Holy Eucharist.
It generally means that they are not Catholics.
Catholics believe in the teachings of Jesus Christ as passed down through the Bible and tradition. Their faith is shaped by the belief in the Holy Trinity, the sacraments, the importance of prayer, and the authority of the Pope. These beliefs influence their practices such as attending Mass, participating in the sacraments, and following moral teachings.
No, not exactly: Catholic belief is that at the consecration of the bread and wine at Mass, these elements become the true essence of the Body and Blood of Christ. While the physical form is unchanged, it is believed there is an essential transformation. Catholics do not believe that the bread and wine are representative, they believe they are the Body and Blood of Christ (in essence).
That would be the Nicean Creed
Yes, Christmas is a holy day of obligation for Catholics, meaning they are required to attend Mass on this day to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ.
Good Friday is a day of mourning and reflection in the Christian faith, commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. It is a solemn day where Catholics do not celebrate Mass as a sign of respect for the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.
