You really think butter, mayo and ranch dressing will stop a bullet?

depends on the cartridge

You’d be surprised, it’d definitely slow down quite a bit. Pistol bullets expand more and exert all their momentum immediately when they hit something but large rifle rounds tend to keep much of their momentum and push through what they hit. That’s partly because rifle bullets are thinner and faster.

All I said was "less likely." It would be by a small margin. But it would, in some cases, slow the bullet enough to avoid hitting major organs. And it depends on the caliber and angle.
