A read through of the Westminster Confession or of Luther would make that perfectly obvious, the former holding to Calvin’s views, and the latter to consubstantiation,

Appreciate your research, but the above referring to Luther's view is incorrect.

Consubstantiation

“Appreciate your research, but the above referring to Luther’s view is incorrect.”


I’m aware the Lutherans dislike the word, but I don’t think it’s wrong to continue to use it:

“The fundamental disagreement over the Lord’s Supper focuses on four distinct views. These views include: first, the view of transubstantiation articulated by the Roman Catholic communion; second, the doctrine of consubstantiation articulated by the Lutheran community (We must note, however, that the word consubstantiation, though it is used widely in theological circles to describe the Lutheran view, is not a term that the Lutherans tend to embrace, and so we should honor their attempt to disavow this particular word.); third, the Reformed and Anglican affirmation of the real presence of Christ in the Lord’s Supper; and fourth, the memorial-sign view of the sacrament espoused by Ulrich Zwingli and by the majority of those in the Baptist communities.”
