Regarding my rejection that most Christians belief in it [the RP], as said, that refers to the Catholic RP, and to personal belief, and while even then you could make a case using inflated figures for Catholicism, the vast majority of non-Catholics can hardly be said to believe in the RP, versus symbolic: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Christian_denominations_by_number_of_members

My statement was: “I believe it is accurate to say most Christians today, including non-Catholics, believe in the Real Presence.”

It’s a true statement.

I didn’t say most non-Catholics believe in the Real Presence, although a large number do.

Among non-Catholics, Lutherans, Anglicans, Methodists believe in the Real Presence. Those who split from them historically, reforming the reformation, began with the Swiss Reformation of Huldrych Zwingli, John Calvin and do not.

The traditions who followed this split include: Calvinists/Presbyterianism/Baptist and the many flavors of Evangelicalism which took recognizable form in the 18th Century.
