A8: "A deficient *concept* of God does not necessarily entail that the object of that concept [i.e. the being described by the concept] is other than the one true God."
V998: "It does when laid side-by-side with the correct understanding of God by the Church sent by Him."
#129
V998: "That is not to say Jews don’t worship the same God. It is to say they know Him only deficiently compared to Christians."
What you say in #64 in conjunction with the second sentence of the quotation from #129 entails that Jews don't worship the same God Catholics worship. But what you say in the first sentence of #129 implies that Jews worship the same God Catholics worship. Which is it?

Oh, I’m sorry. I just re-read what you originally posted and saw that I misread what you wrote. But in that statement you then seem to be saying that Allah is the same as the Trinity. After all, what you wrote about Jews and Yahweh could just as easily said about Muslims and Allah.
Jews do not WORSHIP the Trinity. You do, right? Does that mean you worship a different God than they do?
I think you are trying to collapse a larger issue into a preconceived category of your own making.
I worwhip the Trinity. I rarely if ever refer to God the Father as Yahweh in my prayers or in the Mass. Does that mean I worship a DIFFERENT God than Jews? Or is it that Jews have a deficient understanding of the completeness of God in the Three Persons of the Trinity? Which is it?
