Our liturgy specifically states after the Eucharist that we bring a sacrifice of ourselves.  This, all the while we reject sacerdotal priesthood.  This is diff than offering up to the Father the sacrifice of Christ's body, which I understand is part of the AC theology (correct me if I'm wrong).

We do not have altar calls - too pelagian and recent (invented by that great heretic, Charles Finney).  This is one place where traditional Reformed distance themselves from contemporary Evangelicals.

I will use the term altar at times, but when I do, I probably mean something diff by it than you do.  Generally, I use it interchageably w/Table, just as I do priest and presbyter.  When I say priest, I do not mean a sacrificing priest.
