Satan is an angel, a wholly different and infinitely lower class of being who was created by God.)

Satan is a FALLEN angel. He is one of those who decided they were more enlightened than God, and has since tried to convince others of the same.

That goes without saying, SuziQ. :-)

My point was that it is improper to think of Satan as God's evil counterpart (as many people do!) because Satan's entire class of being is one created by God. If I make a paper airplane, can it become my counterpart? No. If I build a magnificent mansion, can it become my counterpart? No. If I engineer the most advanced robot ever, can it become my counterpart? No. Creatures cannot be counterparts of their creator. Satan can aspire but in the end, he can only be a petty counterfeit. That's my point.

ROLF, thanks for your earlier comment. :-)
