Please show me where I said anything about what YOU believe. I simply posted the statements and comments of what the RCC and her “church fathers” state and how they compare to what the Greek words mean. I really don’t care how YOU interpret it or how YOU explain it. Nor did I give you how I explain or interpret it. Whether you agree with what the RCC teaches is immaterial to me. When views are stated and they differ with what scripture says I speak up.

But they don't differ from scripture. Scripture says we have been given "exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers (koinónos) of the divine nature."

That is what the Church means by (to use the Greek term) theosis.

Any interpretation in a contrary sense, is in error.

We're in agreement: you, me, and the Catholic Church. OK?
