consubstantial
Sharing identical essence
Consubstantial means of the same substance or essence.
The term belongs primarily to Christian theology, where it describes the relationship between persons of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Holy Spirit are distinct yet share one divine substance.
The Nicene Creed declares the Son consubstantial with the Father.
