Christ is Really Present at my evangelical church. With a capital R and P. You know, “two or three gathered in My Name, there I am.”

Christ is present in your soul if you are in a state of grace. But the Eucharistic presence is something special.

Good answer!

I think the (or 'an') interesting question is what does "Really" mean. It doesn't mean "sho' 'nuff". Etymologically I'd guess it means "of or pertaining to a thing" (res + -al) so I figure the "Real Presence in the Sacrament" means that at least that the presence of Christ is localisable so that you can say,"There He is," in a meaningful way.

Then I, retorting, ask, "Where is He not?"
