Martin Luther took the words in a literal sense and, of course, the Eastern churches also believe in the Real Presence. Even Calvin interepreted them in a sense that allowed the "power" of Jesus to be present even if huis person was not. Why accept, as you do, the rationist/reductionist views of the unspiritual Mr. Zwingli, whose primary concern was to get rid of the priesthood.
