To: one Lord one faith one baptism

Jesus also said “Come, follow Me, and I will make you fishers of men”, but we don’t go around hooking, gutting and skinning people in order to get them to church, do we?

True. We should also then consider adding another sacrament of drinking the "Living Water"

John 4:14 but whoever drinks of the water that I will give him shall never thirst; but the water that I will give him will become in him a well of water springing up to eternal life." 15 The woman said to Him, "Sir, give me this water, so I will not be thirsty nor come all the way here to draw."

Clearly the woman at the well understood drinking literal water, same as those in John 6 who supposedly understood eating literal flesh and blood. "The flesh profits nothing", should be included in any serious exegesis.

my friend, if you had a chance to be taught personally by St John what the Eucharist is, do you think you would understand it correctly? please read St Ignatius and what he said about the Eucharist and you will see Jesus and Paul were telling the truth. stop with your 16th century inventions and silly comments.
