The Real Presence teaches that the Eucharistic presence is in the body, soul, and divinity of Christ, while the presence of Matthew 18:20 is not qualified beyond being a presence in a church setting. This is consistent with the promises of John 6 where the emphasis on the physical act of eating is made.

For elaboration see The Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist.

If you think that the scripture saying "this is my body" does not mean it, you have no reason to demand further scriptural evidence.

Agreed. I take that statement in the same manner as "I am the true vine" or "I am the door". If you take it literal, then we'll remain in disagreement until you change your thinking ;)
