You're pulling from early Catholic church history, the Greek Orthodox, and the Presbyterians. They are the ones who desecrated the Lord's Supper and sacramentalized it into resembling a pagan mystery rite.
So, Onefaith, this New Year's Eve... will you partake in the Catholic Eucharist or the Lord's Supper?

Neither, I will take Communion. However, Communion is not meant to be a supper as I find no scripture that mandates it so. I assume you desire to keep the Jewish traditions of Seder in your remembrance of the Lord for a reason. That is your personal preference.
As for pulling from early Catholic history, I am pulling from early church history and part of that is Catholic. Everything that the Catholics teach is not false. Their historical accounts of folks like Iranaeus and Justin Martyr are true and they show how the early church partook in the Communion, which they called the holy Eucharist. It was bread and fruit of the vine.
