[[Roman Catholic]]: the Catholic Church believes in [[transubstantiation]], the doctrine that the whole substance of the bread and wine is transformed into the whole substance of Jesus Christ—His body, blood, soul, and divinity. This church believes that the service is more than a memorial, and also that the [[Eucharist]] (and thus the [[Mass (liturgy)|Mass]]) is a re-presentation of Christ's eternal once for all sacrifice in the Upper Room and on the Cross made present as the supreme sacrifice-offering-up of worship and thanksgiving (Greek "''eu-charistia''") in union with him to God the Father. Those perspectives are not, however, part of the doctrine of the Real Presence.

[[Lutheran]]: Luther and Lutherans today believe in the Real Presence of Christ's body and blood in the Eucharist, with their doctrine of this belief being termed a "sacramental union". Lutherans teach that following the Words of Institution in the Mass, the body and blood exist alongside the bread and wine—"In, with, and under the forms of bread and wine."<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Tiegen |first1=B.W. |title=The Real Presence in the Book of Concord |journal=Concordia Theological Quarterly |date=1977 |volume=41 |issue=2 |page=46|quote=As can be seen from the context, Luther is thinking of the active, powerful Word of consecration of that divine majesty at whose feet every knee should bow. Fagerberg is certainly right when he says that the words of institution are regarded by Luther as the words of consecration whereby bread and wine become something other than ordinary bread and wine (Fagerberg, pp. 186, 195).}}</ref>
