Originally posted by MysticCat81 More accurate to say that some Protestants see Communion as a "representation" rather than actually receiving the Body and Blood of Christ. The older Protestant groups -- the Lutherans, Presbyterians and Anglicans -- all teach that the Body and Blood of Christ are received in the Sacrament. They may disagree with each other (and with the Catholic Church) about how this happens, but they do teach that it does happen.
Okay, I'll try to be quiet for a while.
Don't! You, as usual, are bringing a lot of insight to the thread.
