Which term refers to a distinct 'who' within the Trinity?

Explanation:
Think of the Trinity as one God expressed in three distinct identities. The word that names those individual identities is “Person.” Each person—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—is fully God, yet they are not the same person. They share one divine nature, which is why terms like nature or substance refer to what God is in common to all three. The whole concept of the Trinity refers to the one God in three persons, not to a single person. So the term that best fits a distinct “who” within the Godhead is Person.
