No being Jesus is God and the Holy Spirit. One God 3 distinct personalities. They are all equal
(2 Cor. 13:14). God the Father, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit have always been, and they always will be. With the Lord there’s no beginning and no end. The Lord is unchanging: the same throughout eternity (Matt. 28:19).
Holy Trinity reveals one God
The three persons of the Holy Trinity are distinct and separate: yet, they are one (Eph. 4:4–6). This gives us the mystery of the Godhead
Holy Trinity—One God
The Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit,
three separate Persons, and yet One.
Divine mystery beyond perception.
We look at One—We look at All.
We pray to One—We pray to All.
We love One—We love All.
One love’s us—All love us.
Father–Son–Holy Spirit—One God.
If you separate the 3 as separate gods then you are worshiping 3 gods. There is only one Lord and His name is Jesus Christ God Almighty.God the Father, God the Son Jesus, God the Holy Spirit

6thumbsup , Our Holy Father sent His Word into the world
that took on flesh ( Jesus the Christ ) then thru Him Our
Father in Heaven delivered His Message to His creation (us)
for a way out of sin from this fallen world . Once He finished
the Good work He started , He sent His Holy Spirit to help us
in our salvation to become sanctified and ultimately Holy .
He Loves us ( His Creation ) so much and wants a relationship with us as sons & daughters , but He is Holy and
sin comes between us destroying what could be a beautiful
relationship . Man did not make the trinity , events in the Bible
so happen in sets of 3,7,40,7x70 and so forth . So putting the
3 Father , SON & Holy Spirit together as three in one has helped many to understand God better . Jesus taught us Him
self to pray to the Father thru out His time here . For Jesus was the Word of God and is God . God Then sent His Holy Spirit who is from God , which is God . It is nothing for God
to be where he wants, when he wants , what he wants , as many as he wants at any time . Never limit God , that is where
most people make a big mistake limiting God and thinking God thinks like us . Then we are led astray in all directions .
Just put it together, it is all one God who is trying to show us
a way back home to Him as it was in the begining before sin
entered in . May Our God , give you His peace , Amen...
You know He could have just started over if He wanted to but ,
He didn't , He chose you , me and the rest of the world if every
one would just listen and be do'ers . Its not that hard when we
are together in doing the good& right things .....

NOPE! You are describing the heresy called Arianism, NOT the true teaching of scripture.
You are NOT DESCRIBING "TRINITY," BUT ARIANISM. WHAT YOU DESCRIBE IS NOT TRUE. It is also NOT BIBLICAL THEOLOGY.
It gets a little bit technical, but here is an "Exegetical Insight" which is included in a New Testament Greek textbook. It answers the questions which arise from John 1:1 about Jesus' divine nature:
Here is an "Exegetical Insight" from a Biblical Greek textbook talking about that passage:
The nominative case is the case that the subject is in. When the subject takes an equative verb like “is” (i.e., a verb that equates the subject with something else), then another noun also appears in the nominative case–the predicate nominative. In the sentence, “John is a man,” “John” is the subject and “man” is the predicate nominative. In English the subject and predicate nominative are distinguished by word order (the subject comes first). Not so in Greek. Since word order in Greek is quite flexible and is used for emphasis rather than for strict grammatical function, other means are used to determine subject from predicate nominative. For example, if one of the two nouns has the definite article, it is the subject.
As we have said, word order is employed especially for the sake of emphasis. Generally speaking, when a word is thrown to the front of the clause it is done so for emphasis. When a predicate nominative is thrown in front of the verb, by virtue of word order it takes on emphasis. A good illustration of this is John 1:1c. The English versions typically have, “and the Word was God.” But in Greek, the word order has been reversed. It reads,
‘kai theos en ho logos’
“and God was the Word.”
"We know that “the Word” is the subject because it has the definite article, and we translate it accordingly: “and the Word was God.” Two questions, both of theological import, should come to mind:
(1) Why was 'theos' (God) thrown forward?
and
(2) Why does it lack the article?
In brief, its emphatic position stresses its essence or quality: “What God was, the Word was” is how one translation brings out this force. Its lack of a definite article keeps us from identifying the person of the Word (Jesus Christ) with the person of “God” (the Father). That is to say, the word order tells us that Jesus Christ has all the divine attributes that the Father has; lack of the article tells us that Jesus Christ is not the Father. John’s wording here is beautifully compact! It is, in fact, one of the most elegantly terse theological statements one could ever find. As Martin Luther said, the lack of an article is against Sabellianism; the word order is against Arianism.
To state this another way, look at how the different Greek constructions would be rendered:
'kai ho logos en ho theos'=“and the Word was the God” (i.e., the Father; Sabellianism)
'kai ho logos en theos'=“and the Word was a god” (Arianism)
'kai theos en ho logos'=“and the Word was God” (Orthodoxy).
Jesus Christ is God and has all the attributes that the Father has. But he is not the first person of the Trinity. All this is concisely affirmed in 'kai theos en ho logos.'"

The question of pluralism came up most often during the middle ages. For Christians, the belief is God is one: He is God the father, son and holy ghost. There was never a time when any did not exist, all are one, and the one is divine. The are all of the same essence, the same being. One God.

I know that is hard to understand.Yes God,Jesus,And the Holy Spirit are one but they are also 3 people.The Holy Spirit is our Comforter John14:15-28.Where Jesus states the three different aspects(persons) of the Holy Trinity.And where each one is today.I know it is confusing at first but is you study it pray to Jesus and mediate on it you will come to understand.For that is the power of The Holy Trinity,THe heavenly father,our brother and friend Jesus, and Our comforter Holy Spirit.By the way thanks for asking .

No mediator. Jesus is God, as is the Father and the Holy Spirit. These are all merely facets of one God.

The father, the son and the holy spirit is the trinity. 3 in 1. I believe this is the way it is, and have a lot of faith in that.

Of course they are following the Catholics. They are Christians. You can't be Christian without following the core teachings of the Catholic Church. If you don't worship the Most Holy Trinity, you don't worship the God of Christianity.

John 10:30 "I and the Father are one" (Jesus' words, not mine...)
Colossians 2:9 "For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form"
Why can't God still be God, and take different forms?
The trinity is a hard thing to accept, but it is real none the less.
