I think people seem to be misunderstanding the point of this thread. The catalysts have to remain intact at the end of the reaction and any debris has to be in a removable location (the one with a loaf a few posts back, for example, has the loaf overlap with the starting position of the active region.) Basically nobody has been posting actual catalysis here.
