Paul tells his converts to take this very seriously. In 1 Cor 10, he calls their Eucharists "a participation in the Body of Christ" and " a participation in the Blood of Christ." Then in chapter 11, Paul says if they receive this unworthily and without belief, "not discerning the Body," they "eat and drink judgment on themselves" and they "will have to answer for the Body and Blood of the Lord." 1 Cor 11:27-29.

Hey...you skipped over something very important.....you have to have the entire context to get it right.

23For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you, that the Lord Jesus in the night in which He was betrayed took bread;

24and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “This is My body, which is for you; do this in remembrance of Me.”

25In the same way He took the cup also after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood; do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

26For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord’s death until He comes.

27Therefore whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord in an unworthy manner, shall be guilty of the body and the blood of the Lord.

28But a man must examine himself, and in so doing he is to eat of the bread and drink of the cup.

29For he who eats and drinks, eats and drinks judgment to himself if he does not judge the body rightly. 1 Corinthians 11:23-29 NASB

Amen to every line of every Scripture you quoted. As I mentioned, this is all verbatim part of the Catholic Eucharistic liturgy.
