Rich, we have a record, starting in Acts and continuing through the epistles detailing what the Apostles commanded the churches and what they did - over decades.
Your belief never appears in the biblical record. Not any of the 12 Apostles, who heard Christ’s words, are recorded acting out your belief. Nor did any of the 12 Apostles instruct or teach any church to carry out what you believe.
We do have a record of churches celebrating feasts and the Lord’s Supper - the simple breaking of bread.
You might as well believe pizza gives you better access to God. That has as much biblical support.
Sadly.
Odd that the first recorded council of the Believers given in Acts had nothing to say about all the added parts of catholiciism when they sent their letter to the new believers. But then some catholics can find things that are not there simply by appealing to ‘traditions’.
I know that if I eat too much pizza; later at night I'll say, "Oh GOD! Why did I do that?!?!?"

AMPU, my beliefs are not based on what Scripture says about the 12 Apostles. They are based on my understanding of what Scripture says about Jesus. Just as your beliefs are. We simply have a different understanding on what Jesus taught about the Eucharist.
May the peace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, be with you.
