Save it.
Where I'm at with this, I have been for a long time (like since '83 or so) -- for what I much base this on is my own experience also, far from the narrow confines of Romanist or Orthodox so-termed "liturgy" which so many are so wrong in believing even that be entirely necessary; to be transmitted by only those whom yourself or others (Roman Catholic or some form of 'Orthodox') approve of, much less there needing be a sacerdotal priesthood to "confect" Christ's presence into the bread and the wine -- or else I myself was made one of those "priests", even by the breath of God Himself.
I wrote to encourage the brethren whom I also pinged, not writing to indicate myself to be joining in with the rest of the bondage which can so often (too often?) be found coiled around the feet of that which is otherwise truly holy -- which holiness some, but not all do find, regardless of all the oh-so-cherished by some others obstacles and distractions which they set up to block off finding Him there (in Catholic setting, as elsewhere also) for sake of or fear that an unqualified-to-their-own eyes individual my find the freely provided Grace of Christ Himself.
He seeks persons out, not because of or for sake of perfection in liturgical presentation, but for sake of His own righteousness despite our own lack of possessing our own righteousness, just as it has been (that the case has been as the brutal truth of the matter) from the time of Moses.

Ok, I will save it. If you wrote to encourage your brethren. Why include me??? In the future, if you are writing to encourage your brethren, then I think that would exclude me. Trust me, I will not get my feelings hurt if you leave me out of your pings.
Given your post, the only reason I can see that you pinged me is because you must have felt the need to do so for some reason only you in your heart know. Again, I don’t know why you pinged me, but my hypothesis is you perhaps were hoping to provoke me? draw me into a debate with you?
I understand, you reject the Catholic understanding of Liturgy and Eucharist and I guess after the links I gave you, you pretty much feel the same way about the Eastern Orthodox. Fine you reject it, I accept it.
So Let’s make a deal, no need for you and I do debate our views of Eucharistic theology. My views align with Rome and the Catholic Church, yours I assume align with Reformed-Calvinist views.
I am comfortable leaving it at that.
