And, for the record, I do not reject the Trinity. I reject the trinity of personS - which you cannot even provide a sound definition of. Personas. I reject your definition.

Actor or mask is accurate - it's as phony as a 3 dollar bill.

you got the definition above in the Athanasian creed — here’s a simpler one for you “it is the Father who generates, the Son who is begotten, and the Holy Spirit who proceeds. While distinct in their relations with one another, they are one in all else. The whole work of creation and grace is a single operation common to all three, who at the same time operate according to their unique properties, so that all things are from the Father, through the Son and in the Holy Spirit.”

As the Athanasian creed states

As also there are not three uncreated; nor three infinites, but one uncreated; and one infinite. So likewise the Father is Almighty; the Son Almighty; and the Holy Ghost Almighty. And yet they are not three Almighties; but one Almighty. So the Father is God; the Son is God; and the Holy Ghost is God. And yet they are not three Gods; but one God. So likewise the Father is Lord; the Son Lord; and the Holy Ghost Lord. And yet not three Lords; but one Lord. For like as we are compelled by the Christian verity; to acknowledge every Person by himself to be God and Lord; So are we forbidden by the catholic religion; to say, There are three Gods, or three Lords. The Father is made of none; neither created, nor begotten. The Son is of the Father alone; not made, nor created; but begotten. The Holy Ghost is of the Father and of the Son; neither made, nor created, nor begotten; but proceeding.

By definition you reject the Trinity - with word games you try to redefine it into something it is not. You may reject the definition - that does not give you the right to redefine it and market it by the same term. That is deception.
