As Catholics, they are frauds. As Protestants, they would just be Protestants.

Or possibly some strange hybrid.

Are there any Protestants that deny Holy Orders but yet believe in the Real Presence? That laymen can confect the Sacrament?

From my reading, Communion seems to occupy the same semantic space in their minds as a sacramental does in ours. By that token, yeah, sure why can't anyone do it? It'd be like saying only priests can bless themselves with holy water or do the morning offering. It's bread before and bread after...just special bread.

This lady is perhaps something different if she believes she is transubstantiating the thing. Does she think her ordination gives her a power that I don't have?
