In the Novus Ordo, the words of consecration are:

"Accipite et manducate ex hoc omnes: hoc est enim corpus meum, quod pro vobis tradetur. …

Accipite et bibite ex eo omnes: hic est enim calix sanguinis mei novi et aeterni testamenti, qui pro vobis et pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum."

The words in the Tridentine liturgy are:

"Accipite, et manducate ex hoc omnes: Hoc est enim Corpus meum. …

Accipite, et bibite ex eo omnes: Hic est enim Calix Sanguinis mei, novi et aeterni testamenti, mysterium fidei, qui pro vobis et pro multis effundetur in remissionem peccatorum."

As St. Thomas Aquinas teaches in the Summa Theologica, the actual words of consecration are “Hoc est enim Corpus meum” and “Hic est enim Calix Sanguinis mei.” As those words remain unchanged in the Novus Ordo from the Tridentine liturgy, it should be readily apparent that the words of consecration in the Novus Ordo are valid and that those who hold otherwise have made shipwreck of the Faith and are anathema sit.

Those are the words of the consecration in the Latin language of course.

The Novus Ordo mass is ordinarily said in different languages, however and the words * hoc est enim Corpus meum* and hic est enim Calix Sanguinis mei are rarely heard.

Your conclusion may be right, but your argument is faulty.
