pardon my ignorance, but I couldn't tell if you were affirming what I said or not from that post.

Yes but for the wrong reason.
Pentecost is seven weeks plus a day
following the Shabbat during Pesach
as outlined in Leviticus 23.

I agree with the camp that says the Sabbath did not move to Sunday. The Sabbath is still Saturday. Always has been, always will be.

But I don't agree with the camp that says the early church did not meet on Sunday or that Sunday has no significance in the New Covenant. The Lord rose on Sunday, Pentecost occurred on Sunday, Christ appeared to many in the Gospel accounts on Sunday, the saints raised collections on Sunday and broke bread on Sunday. This does not diminish the Sabbath in any way, it just points to a new day under the new Covenant.
