People crowded around Jesus everywhere and wanted to listen to Him, heal them and watch His miracles.
However, there were two times when they fled from Jesus.
When He was crucified. and when He spoke to them about the Eucharist.
So Christ is either truly present as Body, Soul, Human and Divine in the Eucharist or is a symbol? Christ’s Word is the Truth, not man’s false beliefs. Jesus is not a symbol.
Each of us has to have the capacity to receive the Gospel message from Jesus and Jesus told us “This is why I told you that no one can come to me unless it is granted by the Father.”
Your often repeated question: “Do you really want to be saved??” This directed towards others as a false question, and not toward yourself.
The better question: “Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus?”
Do you stand at the foot of the Cross at the Mass as Jesus and members of His Body make present (re-presents) His sacrifice to the Father?
Do you eat His Body and Blood in Eucharist?
Do you listen silently to Jesus in His presence in Adoration at the Tabernacle or Monstrance? Or talk to Him as a friend?
Do you truly try to reflect on God’s Truth and grow in that truth or assume you know all from the Scriptures?
Do you let Jesus change your life?
I will leave it to the Father and the Holy Spirit to help guide you to His Truth.

Non sequiter.
They left because He was done feeding them and offended them speaking about eating blood.
Simple as that.

You list two choices. There are three.
—>The better question: “Do you have a personal relationship with Jesus?”
No.
There is a difference between having a relationship and being saved.
One depends of feelings, which change.
One depends on faith in the promises of God, which never change.
I take it you are not saved?
—> Do you eat His Body and Blood in Eucharist?
I “Do this in memory of Me until I return.”
—> Do you listen silently to Jesus in His presence in Adoration at the Tabernacle or Monstrance?
Since that isn’t the Apostolic faith, of course not.
No Apostle ever taught, practiced, nor commanded that heresy… nor did it appear for hundreds of years.
—> I will leave it to the Father and the Holy Spirit to help guide you to His Truth.
I will leave it to the Father and the Holy Spirit to convict you of your separation from Him, and your desperate need of salvation - apart from religious rituals and filthy works - through faith in Christ alone.
Doubting Thomas didn't.
