I married a Protestant and presently attend a Protestant church. They share communion every third week, which is better than many Protestant churches. Although they do not convert it to the actual body of Christ during the service, I recognize it as such and with utter, unshakeable confidence. You just explained why, and how I can do so! It is by faith!
A theologian could try and convince me that you have to do such and such to transform it. Thanks, but I can feel Jesus coming in to me when I partake in that communion. It isn't a feeling like "I feel peace." It is an awareness of what entered me and is filling me.
Thank you, Andrew. This is a beautiful study.
