Since priest = presbuteros there are indeed priests in the New Testament church.

Of course there are not...There is no place for a priest in the church...

Your priesthood is fashioned (somewhat) after the priesthood of the Temple period...

There is no Temple...There's no need for a temple...There's no need for a priest...

The O.T. priests of the temple provided the sacrifices for the people...They only were allowed into the presence of God...They only were allowed to pass beyond the 'veil'...

The Temple has been destroyed...The veil has been removed...The sacrifices became one Sacrifice for everyone, forever...

The entire congregation now has access to the Mercy Seat without the aide of a priest...Your Catholic religion is not represented anywhere within the pages of the New Testament...

If you people would actually read the scriptures, you would know that...

No, it is a continuation of the office of presbyter.
