Im sorry, that doesnt make sense to me with what I understand of Catholic belief that the wine and bread actually turning into the blood and body.
I have been busy, so am just now catching up with this thread.
If I am not mistaken, LCMS teaching is that the real presence is a sacramental union; that the Body and Blood of Christ are present in the bread and wine, so that the communicant receives the Body and the Blood of Christ as well as the bread and wine. Catholic teaching is that the bread and wine actually become, in a way beyond understanding, the Body and Blood of Christ, so that the communicant receives the Body and Blood of Christ in substance under the appearance of bread and wine.
Lutherans and Catholics both believe the what, that in communion we receive the Body and Blood of Christ. But how the Body and Blood of Christ is present in the bread and wine (LCMS) or how the Body and Blood of Christ becomes the bread and wine (Catholic) is beyond our ability to comprehend.
Yes, what you explained is correct for the LCMS and what I understood for the Catholic faith. Thank you for confirming.
