Actually some Protestants like Lutherans, believe in real presence of Jesus in the bread and wine. Reformed protestants deny that. Reformed protestants think they are just symbols.
Orthodox christians also believe that bread and wine becomes Jesus body and blood.
Jesus as a God has the power to transform bread and wine in his body and blood. He as a God also has the power to keep his body and blood in the form of bread and wine so that we are able to it them.
An unknown number. No survey asking such a question has been made, nor is it likely there will be one.Roman Catholic AnswerAlthough there is no census out there, it has been reported that the number is huge, as in over half of all Catholics are so poorly educated in their faith as to be virtually indistinguishable from protestants on such matters as the Most Holy Eucharist.
The great sacrament (also called Holy Communion or Eucharist) varies from denomination to denomination. The catholics believe that the bread and wine truly become the body and blood of Christ. They believe that it renews them spiritually and it helps them to remember Christ's sacrifice on the cross. Many protestants look at it as a symbol of the sacrifice.
The Eucharist is the Body of Christ.
There are more Catholics than Protestants. 18% of the world is Catholic. 9% of the World is Protestant. If you split them up- the number of Catholics VASTLY outnumbers the protestants.
Roman Catholics receive the Eucharist during Mass, where they partake of consecrated bread and wine, believed to be the body and blood of Christ. The faithful typically approach the altar, either standing or kneeling, to receive the host directly in their hands or on their tongue, along with the option to sip from the chalice. Participation in the Eucharist requires being in a state of grace, meaning one should not be conscious of grave sin. This sacrament is considered a central aspect of Catholic worship and spiritual life.
If by your question you mean, "Do protestants accept all religious beliefs as equally valid?" I would say no. When someone holds to a religion (doesn't matter which one) they believe that they are correct, meaning they believe all others are in error. "All religions are equal" is just a bunch of hooey.
Housel is an archaic word meaning the Eucharist.
The theological differences between different denominations is great... the meaning probably can be said to be the same. The Eucharist is believed to be the Body of Christ. Theologically the means whereby this comes about is: Catholics believe in transubstantiation Lutherans: consubstantiation Episcopals "transignification"; Calvin... a mystery. For all: "The Body of Christ"
