Hmmmmm....

In that very same chapter of John our Lord also says,

6:37 All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.

Jhn 6:38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do my own will but the will of him who sent me.

Jhn 6:39 And this is the will of him who sent me, that I should lose nothing of all that he has given me, but raise it up on the last day.

Jhn 6:44 No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day.

Now if you want to literally interpret John 6:53-57 as the actual blood and body of Christ, then are you willing to concede that John 6:34-44 means that God chooses who believes in Christ, no one can come to Christ unless the Father makes it happen, and that none of those who God the Father gives to Christ will lose their salvation? They are, after all, in the same chapter.

[Petrosius]

All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to me I will never cast out.

God will never cast us out but we can by refusing to love God and rebelling by choosing our sins over him.

Again, I notice here the Protestant tactic of completely ignoring those verses that contradict their a priori dogmas based on human tradition.
