No, it does not.

While Eucharist is a central teaching of the catholic church, the church teaches that we live in the hope that all are saved where there is goodness and faith

Roman Catholic AnswerYes, the Eucharist is Our Blessed Lord, Himself, His Body and Blood, His Soul and Divinity, He created the entire world, and He is bringing the entire world to its end, and everyone in it that is predestined for salvation finds their salvation only in Him. In addition, all of the Sacraments draw their efficacy from and point to the Most Holy Eucharist, so even if you have only been baptised, that you are already oriented towards the Most Holy Eucharist. Can you be saved without the Eucharist? No, that would be saying that you could be saved without Our Blessed Lord, who is the source of our salvation. Can you be saved without actually partaking in the Eucharist at Mass? God can do anything, and as I have previously said, even your Baptism is a participation in the Eucharist, and Baptism is necessary and essential for salvation. Can God save people outside of Baptism and the Eucharist. Again, God can do anything, and we do not know all of His Ways - that is not possible, however, the normal way that He set it up for us to be saved is through the Eucharist, and we ignore that at our eternal peril.

from

The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 19941324

The Eucharist is "the source and summit of the Christian life." (Lumen Gentium 11)" The other sacraments, and indeed all ecclesiastical ministries and works of the apostolate, are bound up with the Eucharist and are oriented toward it. For in the blessed Eucharist is contained the whole spiritual good of the Church, namely Christ himself, our Pasch." (Presbyterorum ordinis)

1325

"the Eucharist is the efficacious sign and sublime cause of that communion in the divine life and that unity of the People of God by which the church is kept in being. It is the culmination both of God's action sanctifying the world in Christ and of the worship men offer to Christ and through him to the Father in the Holy Spirit." (Congregation of Rites, instruction, Eucharisticum mysterium, 6)

1326

Finally, by the Eucharistic celebration we already unite ourselves with the heavenly liturgy and anticipate eternal life, when God will be all in all. (Cf. 1 Cor 15:28)
