Possible existence is just existence that is possible. Actual existence in a possible world isn't merely existence that is possible. To conflate the two is a mistake.

What do you mean when you say that something actually exists in a possible world? Just so we're on the same page.

Because in that system of logic, existing in some possible world is the equivalent of possibly existing.
