The term symbolic sacrament needs unpacking. I believe the sacraments are means of grace. But I think the elements are outward, symbolic, representations of what is happening in them. This is not a purely symbolic sacrament.

This is roughly a Reformed view, though Calvin had a peculiar twist on communion that may not be represented here.
