[[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]]) is a re-presentation of Christ's sacrifice on the Cross. Those perspectives are not, however, part of the doctrine of the Real Presence.

[[Anglican]]: The Anglican churches officially believe in the Real Presence received in a non-carnal way and explicitly reject the doctrine of transubstantiation. However, a small minority of "High church" or Anglo-Catholic Anglicans do accept transubstantiation.

[[Lutheran]]: Luther and Lutherans today believe in the Real Presence of Christ's body and blood in the Eucharist. However, rather than holding that the whole substance of the bread and wine is transformed (i.e. transubstantiation), they consider the body and blood to exist alongside the bread and wine--"In, with, and under the forms of bread and wine." (This is often miscalled "consubstantiation").
