As a former Anglican, I was told that the communion, baptism, confirmation are sacraments of the faith, and that sacraments are "outer symbols of an inward grace".
That is, nothing magic is occurring, other than we are making an outward show and declaration that we have received the grace of God.
Yes, the Catholic Church still claims they are all magic. No-one else does
(Well, the evangelicals believe in the literal receiving of the holy spirit, and the Anglican church still has the same rules as the Catholics over not letting unbaptized have bread or wine, consuming everything rather than throwing it out, and burning flooring or carpeting that any substantial amount of spilled wine gets on)
