and for Paul the Spirit is the power of God (just as in Judaism), but never referred to as our Lord.

2Co 3:17 Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

God disagrees with you...

You will also notice that the Holy Ghost is sent and given, and that he does things through God or through Christ.

2Co 3:18 But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.

There's quite a number of things the Holy Spirit does independently...

There is also a disticntion made between the Spirit of God and the Spirit of Christ.

So there's 2 Holy Spirits...That make a total of 5 in the Catholic Trinity...

I'll stick with what the scripture teaches instead of the Catholic wresting private interpretation of the scriptures...

The KJV version of that verse is incorrect. The Greek sentence simply says that the "Lord is the spirit": ὁ δὲ κύριος τὸ πνεῦμά ἐστιν; it doesn't say "that" Spirit. Just more mumbo-jumbo play on the words. It's like saying the challenge of politics and the politics of challenge. It mesmerizes the simple minds.

God disagrees with you...

So, Paul is God? Or did God just use Paul as a walking megaphone?

So there's 2 Holy Spirits

Ever heard of a plural whereby the verb to be changes from is to are? Such as one is and two are?

That make a total of 5 in the Catholic Trinity

No it doesn't. Just in the biblical Trinity where the Father (who is a spirit) sends his spirit, and then we have Christ and his spirit (cf Rom 8:9), another Pauline innovation.
