Matthew 18:20 says Christ is with believers spiritually.

I don't see Him standing in front of you. A believer's renewed mind can conceptualize His spiritual presence in his life, just as Scripture tells us.

If you look for Him waiting next to you at a bus stop or sitting on the sofa with His feet up or on an altar as a needlessly repetitive sacrifice, then you are missing Him. He is not there. Jesus is in heaven and His Spirit resides in the hearts of each member of His flock.

These kinds of errors are the reason Rome has been rightly accused of displacing and even ignoring the office and purpose of the Holy Spirit.

Repent of it.

A few chapters later in the same gospel, we find:

26:38 "...Lord, when saw we thee hungry..."
26:40 and Jesus said, "Insamuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethern, ye have done it unto me."

Seems like Jesus was saying that He might be found in the most unexpected places.

I have nothing to repent of. On the contrary, anyone who spreads errors about the truth of the Eucharist is the one who needs to repent.
