While in the LC I always took the Lord's Table as symbolic. Prolly cuz I was raised that way.
Anybody? Was I wrong?

No.
The bread and wine are variously called symbols, elements, emblems, etc. by the church. The Lord told us to "do this" in remembrance of HIM.
Those who take the words "this is My body" literally only promote vain superstitions. I grew up in that magic show called the Mass. As an altar boy I constantly watched the priest magically transform that wafer into God. Then after the Mass, the priest had to lock up the tabernacle on the altar so that no one could "steal God" from the church.
