charismatics
People with presence
Charismatics are Christians who emphasize direct experience of the Holy Spirit—speaking in tongues, faith healing, prophecy, and other spiritual gifts.
The term distinguishes them from Pentecostals proper, typically referring to those within mainline Protestant or Catholic churches who embrace charismatic practices: The charismatics in our Episcopal parish hold separate prayer meetings.
Outside religious contexts, charismatics can simply mean people with charisma.
