. Do I believe it miraculously changes into the physical flesh and blood of Jesus as a reenactment of the sacrifice on the cross every time I partake? No

That disbelief is what St. Ignatius' letter directly condemns, so if you want to play "catholic" Christian, don't call on him as evidence.

He wrote about the Church of Rome, too:

The Epistle of Ignatius to the Romans

Ignatius is obviously not a saint!

If you do not believe that Christ's blood payment on the cross was the totality of salvation, then you are not a believer in the Lord Jesus Christ. That is 'Christianity' in a nutshell.
