HD-Here's one that states the Holy Spirit is the Church:A8-In saying "The Church has received this name from the Lord", it is saying that the Church received from Christ the name "Holy Spirit" as the name of the Third Person of the Holy Trinity, not as the name of the Church.
I have tried to parse your sentence. You have totally lost me.

Ok, I'll try again. It is saying that the name "Holy Spirit", the name for the Third Person of the Trinity, was received by the Church (i.e. the Apostles) from Christ. Does that help?
