driving home from work, im 4 blocks from house when i get to a stop sign. when i go again my motor stops and when i try to start it up only the starter is heard which brings me to conclusion that when i open the hood the timing belt snapped. i read that the 5a-fe are non- interference motors and after the belt snaps it kills the motor to prevent damage to the internals. is this true and of course i will check the inside... im just looking for relevance and good hopes!!

Well for me I've had the timing belt off my 5sfe so many times that Im sure I could change it in under an hour. So yes I have little fear as once again its a non-interference motor. I just had to change the timing belt (the leaking water pump was behind it) on my friend's V6 mazda and that took a whole friday evening and saturday. Plus if it breaks that KLZE engine will be ruined so yes on something like that I would worry about whether the automatic tensioner was torqued right or someone would be buying a new engine. But the OP has absolutely no need to worry if he screws something up and the new belt snaps. The belt will be under warranty, he has sourced the proper/improper tools before and no engine/vehicle damage occured in the process. Need I elaborate more on why pnoywitmustrdsau... should be able to do this by themself.
