“Even if they believe in the Real Presence, they do not partake of It; because all their “priests” are mere laymen. I recommend you read Apostolicae Curae”

You are 100% right. I never said I believed they were partaking in it, but they believe they are. The “priests” they have are not authorized to consecrate the host, as their apostolic succession ended when they broke broke away from the Catholic Church.

Actually it ended with the change to the form of conferring holy orders under Edward VI (I think), some Anglicans actually realize this and seek ordination from bishops who are real but outside both the Catholic and Anglican communions. It's weird.
