Trinitarian
Three-in-one believer
Trinitarian describes belief in or adherence to the doctrine of the Trinity—the Christian teaching that God exists as three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) in one essence.
As a noun, a Trinitarian is someone who holds this belief: Trinitarians and Unitarians debated fiercely in the early church.
The term distinguishes mainstream Christianity from groups rejecting this doctrine. (Lowercase trinitarian has the same meaning.)
