Nathan,
That is a sticky one for me. Obviously yes on #1, but I think yes on #2 as well. I believe any plain reading of the confession makes it obvious that the confession is speaking of literal days. I for one believe that if you don't hold to literal days then you should take an exception. The problem is that in my opinion, Presbyterians, namely Southern Presbyterians, (PCA) especially, have been fairly generous in this regard. There has been much liberty granted on this issue in the PCA. Some presbyteries may not, but on the whole, much liberty is given it seems to me. The other area of liberty is views on the Sabbath....but that's another can of worms.
