An lmtx solution:
\starttext
\definestartstop
[CapitalisQuadrata]
[setups=foo]
\startsetups foo
\pushoverloadmode % needed when protection enabled
\def\obeyedline{\removepunctuation\endgraf}
\obeylines
\nospacing
\WORD
\popoverloadmode
\stopsetups
\start[CapitalisQuadrata]
This is a line,
that is a line,
and a third line as well
\stop
\stoptext
