Since you [Diego 1618] don't believe in the Holy Trinity, you are not a Christian, by definition. In 381 A.D., the Council of Constantinople approved the Nicene Creed ... as follows...And I believe in the Holy Ghost the Lord, and Giver of Life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son... I agree. Those who deny Holy Trinity are not Christians. But your version of the Creed is not from 381, as the Church formulated it. The "and from the Son" was officially inderted shortly before the Great Schism in 1054 and is known as the filioque. It is an unatuhorized addition to the Creed.

I started to make a side note for all the Orthodox on this thread not to point out the filioque clause as I didn't want to start another heated discussion. But I see you have anyway.
