You might say I am supporting your point with a simple question I have had for years which is: How come The Eucharist is not mentioned in the Nicene Creed?
Such a pivotal belief that distinguishes Catholics from other Christian denominations and have never heard a satisfying answer to explain its absence. The most common answer is that "the Nicene Creed is not meant to be all encompassing". Just seems to be an odd thing to leave out since the year 325.

I'm not familiar with the full history of the issue, but I think the idea of the eucharist being in a sense figurative instead of literal became more popular long after 325. In Nicea, during the proceedings, whether the body is literal as Catholics believe, wasn't an issue they were debating at the moment. If they didn't debate it, then there would be no reason for it to become part of the Nicene Creed. The creed itself would only cover issues that were being debated there. If there was agreement on an issue, or people were unaware of disagreement, then there's no reason to add it to the creed.
It's also possible at that time if there were disagreements, it didn't bother them as much, as they had much larger theological concerns bothering them than as to what the intention of the sacraments are.
