No. There is only ONE sacrifice. Jesus is not sacrificed over and over again. The ONE sacrifice is re-presented again and again instead.

By your own words,

“If it is a sacrifice, then it is transubstantiation. St. Augustine makes it pretty clear it is a sacrifice.”

Either it is or isn't, either it's repeated over and again or it isn't.

According to Paul's words the only presentation of Christ's sacrifice was made in heaven and Jesus commanded it be ‘remembered’ (Luke 22:19) not “re-presented”.
