The Bread, body and blood refer to the Holy Spirit. It is analogy. By eating the components of the food become part of the being. The fact that one does not obfuscate that fact in ritual, does not mean they do not partake of the Holy Spirit. At the Last Supper He requested His people to, "do this in remembrance of Me." As long as folks gather in His name, that is what is important.

At the Last Supper He requested His people to, "do this in remembrance of Me."

The Last Supper was a Seder meal. Jews believe that the Seder meal "makes present" the exodus from Egypt. It is more than simple remembrance. Ask a Jew, they'll tell you. This is the sense in which Jesus was speaking. The breaking of bread "makes present" Jesus' sacrificial death on the Cross. This is what Catholics believe. And scripture shows that St. Paul believed it too.
