NOBODY believes they do. Just as Calvin’s definition of “deify” does not mean that we actually become gods, neither does the statement by Aquinas.

I don’t know if you’ve ever read Aquinas. I did years ago and probably should again, because at the time I didn’t get it at all. It is VERY DIFFICULT reading.
