“There is no such fluid as Holy Water.”

Of course. I know that. But don’t tell the cultists; ignorance is bliss, and they’re happy.

When our seminary bought a defunct monastery in the ‘60s, I helped prepare the place during the summer before classes started In one basement room there were Clorox bottles with “holy water” scribbled in Magic Marker.

Not ridiculous.
Documentation of the use of holy water got back as far as the 5th century.

This is long before your Protestant tradition decided to; ignore 1500+ years of teaching, sacred tradition and practice.
