It is hard to make general statements concerning Protestants. It is to be remembered that the Lutherans are among the most liturgical and share a belief in the Real Presence (although by way of consubstantiation, not transubstantiation). My remarks would be more correctly aimed at those who follow the Calvinist tradition.

Explain to me the difference here. Is it a difference without a distinction? I don't get the major difference, if there is one. Would appreciate your interpretation:

Transubstantiaion:
1 : an act or instance of transubstantiating or being transubstantiated
2 : the miraculous change by which according to Roman Catholic and Eastern Orthodox dogma the eucharistic elements at their consecration become the body and blood of Christ while keeping only the appearances of bread and wine

Consubstantiation:
Main Entry: con·sub·stan·ti·a·tion
Function: noun
Pronunciation: "kän(t)-s&b-"stan(t)-she-'A-sh&n
: the actual substantial presence and combination of the body and blood of Christ with the eucharistic bread and wine according to a teaching associated with Martin Luther -- compare
