A majority of Christians belong to Churches whose doctrine includes the Real Presence in Holy Eucharist. Better?

Finally, for sure.

It is specious to define Church doctrine by whatever survey.

Which was not what you were doing, but were stating what souls believed, as if that necessarily meant the same thing as what their churches simply professed, contrary to their own statements as found by surveys. Do i need to keep repeating this?

Corinthians includes “discerning the body of the Lord.” It takes effort here, and elsewhere in Holy Scripture to disappear the Real Presence.

Meaning, as usually, just the opposite, as showed.

You would have this “error” in the Church for over 1500 years until the Swiss reformers. Silliness.

Meaning in reality that how the NT church saw the Lord's supper was manifestly not that of Catholicism, as showed, and which Swiss reformers basically recovered as regards the metaphorical understanding. . Which is the only one that easily conflates with the totality of Scripture. Glory to God.

Recovered? Actually, they seem to have been more influenced by the "scientific" reductionism that was in the air at the time. And it suffuses much of Protestantism to this day, at least as exemplified in many FR posts.
