No in order to have life you have to drink the blood of jesus. Thats is how you are saved and given eternal life. His blood is real drink it is living water. Which is why he calls it blood. Those who ALREADY have eternal life will be raised up in the last day. Whoever drinks the blood of Jesus lives forever.She is probably getting it from Hebrews 9:27 which states "27 Everyone must die once. Then they are judged."
I think you are misunderstanding what the Bible is talking about. When it says you won't perish, it is talking about the life to come not the one you are living now. This is why the bible talks about dying twice which is why it refers to something called the second death. The first is here on Earth which everyone gets which is the first death and the one in heaven at the judgment seat that only those who reject Christ will get when they are judged for their deeds and punished accordingly which is the second death that believers will never face. Believers on the other hand are also judged for their deeds not to dole out punishment but to dole out rewards for what they did on Earth. Not ending up in hell is a gift to the believer however what the believer gets in heaven however is a reward that he or she earns by their works.
So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh and drink the blood of the Son of Man, you have no life in you. Whoever eats My flesh and drinks My blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day. For My flesh is real food, and My blood is real drink.…
Just as the living Father sent Me and I live because of the Father, so also the one who feeds on Me will live because of Me. 58This is the bread that came down from heaven. Unlike your fathers, who ate the manna and died, the one who eats this bread will live forever.”…
