I would really appreciate your thoughts/opinions/correct information!!

It is quite simple. Everything contained in the sentence between the first letter and the period(full stop) is part of the sentence.
Therefore, if you wish cross reference to another area (which is what I assume you are doing), you have to think about what you are cross referencing. Is it the word or the sentence. If it is the word sat e.g. 'The cat *** on the mat' it is clear the word

You might like to know that the period should be placed within the quotation marks and single quotes are only used for a quote within a quote.
