[Petrosius]

Reading it in Greek, AND IN CONTEXT, no it does not.

He speaking in the context of eating the meat offered in sacrifices:

Look at Israel according to the flesh; are not those who eat the sacrifices participants in the altar? So what am I saying? That meat sacrificed to idols is anything? Or that an idol is anything? No, I mean that what they sacrifice, they sacrifice to demons, not to God, and I do not want you to become participants with demons. You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and also the cup of demons. You cannot partake of the table of the Lord and of the table of demons.

Israel participates in the sacrifice of the altar by eating the meat of the sacrifice. Likewise, the pagans participate with demons by eating the meat offered in pagan sacrifices. So to participate in the Body and Blood of Christ we must eat of the sacrifice of our Lord. And how can we do that if we are not presented with the actual Body and Blood of Christ offered in sacrifice?

Israel ate the meat of the sacrificed LAMB. Christians eat the bread and drink the wine as Jesus gave us to do in remembrance of His body and blood sacrifice. It really amazes me how vehemently Catholics argue for what they are taught but never think it through for themselves. That wafer of the Eucharist NEVER changes, does it? You can claim it literally or mystically does, but there is no change even on a subatomic level. In fact, the dogma of "transubstantiation" was developed much later (this doctrine was made obligatory by the Fourth Council of the Lateran in 1215).

Before then, Christians held that Christ was symbolically present with those gathered together in His name and the bread and wine of the observance represented His body and blood sacrificed for us. The "real presence" of Christ was a hotly debated topic much later in Christianity (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_presence_of_Christ_in_the_Eucharist).

What Catholicism teaches today was not what Christians have believed always, everywhere and by all. What matters is that the person who participates in the ordinance together with other believers is doing so in faith.
