You answered your question yourself. Perhaps the answer was insufficient or incorrect? Is that why you keep asking me?

The Greek of the New Testament recorded as the Lord’s Supper has Christ saying eat of my body and drink of my blood - literally. Christ says “eat me”. That’s the Greek. It’s the origin of the Catholic Church’s belief in transubstantiation.

Jews, Greeks and others used those words to attack Christians as cannibals.

Normal adults understand that context matters.
