Belief in the Real Presence is also identical to obediance to the Pope. Am I equating Jesus and the Pope? No, of course not. But you can't have the Real Presence, that is, you can't have Jesus Christ Himself, unless you have a valid priesthood.
I guess, technically, I'ma little off base here. The Eastern Churches, which are not fully united with the Pope (yet), do have valid sacraments and apostolic succession. But they ought to be united with the Pope.
