Martin Luther wasn't done with the prunings away from the dead works of catholicism.

Well, you're just mistaken or misinformed.

While John 6 is used as a proof text for the Real Presence, the Holy Communion service is primarily based upon the Biblical account of the Last Supper, exactly as any Protestant who observes the Lord's Supper would do.
I doubt that. See Post #4 in this thread.

The fact that Protestant uses the term "Holy Communion" means that they have made the breaking of the bread more than what it is.

Scripture did not call the communion as holy communion. In fact the event of communion was just called the breaking of bread.

Acts 2:42And they continued stedfastly in the apostles' doctrine and fellowship, and in breaking of bread, and in prayers.

Acts 20:7And upon the first day of the week, when the disciples came together to break bread, Paul preached unto them, ready to depart on the morrow; and continued his speech until midnight.

Paul had used the term communion, but not in labelling the event, but signifying what believers are to be in agreement on when doing this in remembrance of Him.

The fact that sacrament is a term derived from an origin of a system of works of catholicism that denies Him, should also be dropped altogether if the Protestant churches wishes to have their faith in Jesus Christ stand apart entirely from the works of catholicism in the RCC.

Believers can break bread without using the term sacrament, Eucharist, Holy Communion, and the Mass if they wish to avoid taking the bread in the wrong way.

Even when some Protestant churches begin that service with the traditional saying "We come into His Presence today..." is not scriptural because He is with us always and so there is no coming into His Presence and certainly, there is no walking away from His Presence either after the breaking of bread.

Matthew 12:33 Either make the tree good, and his fruit good; or else make the tree corrupt, and his fruit corrupt: for the tree is known by his fruit. 34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things. 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment. 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Martin Luther wasn't done with the prunings away from the dead works of catholicism. Protestant should not rest on his laurels when there are more things "Catholic" than scripture being practised within.
