No.
To be outside of the body of Christ now is to be outside later as well. If you reject the church you reject Christ. There is no “it’s just Jesus and me” Christianity.

Likewise if you do not eat of his flesh and drink his blood then you’ll have no life within you. No Eucharist, no salvation, no matter what Martin Luther said.

Salvation is found in Christ alone. Never a church.

That’s just bogus stuff youve been taught.

Hmm. Must be news to Andrew, who followed Jesus and not Peter--although Peter was with him at the time.

What about the book of Acts?

Acts 16:30-31:
And brought them out, and said, Sirs, what must I do to be saved?

And they said, Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and thou shalt be saved, and thy house.

No mention of the Eucharist in that passage, and yet the Jailer was saved.

Remember this:

Matthew 13:34-35:

All these things Jesus spoke to the multitude in parables; and without a parable He did not speak to them,

This fulfilled what God had spoken through the prophet:

"I will speak to you in parables. I will explain things hidden since the creation of the world."
