Note Spirit of Truth is going to glorify him, and Jesus aligns the Spirit of truth "WITH" The God and Father = because the God and Father and the Holy Spirit are ONE as IN ONE "Apple" = Spirit "of" Truth.
Of course God the Father and the Holy Spirit are one, you’re not saying anything against the Trinity, matter of fact the Trinity doctrine says this, God is one
What you don’t get about the Trinity is 1+1+1=1 not 1+1+1=3
Father, Son, and The Holy Spirit = ONE God, not 3 Gods
Eg, One apple core + one apple body + apple skin = 1 apple not 3 apples

From what I gather mate, YOU do not accept this = NO COMFORTER, hence people would not know it if they fell over it as it has been lost, for so LONG, no one to even compare things with = NO ONE.
Please spare me, again do you honestly think you’re the only one who can read the Bible.
The Holy Sprit has been taught in the Catholic church since day 1 and today is no different, but of course you know better don’t you. See below
YOU NEED to do some checking, Catholic is so, so full of sun gods Ba'al on nearly everything.
Yeah yeah, what ever you say, you should check you’re teaching to see how your theology is embedded and designed to be anti-Catholic disguised to be coming from the Bible.
You should also study catholic bigotry in American Protestantism
No bugger can take your sins away, ONE mediator.
You’re not telling me anything that I don’t know.

Ignatius a.d. 30–107
Since, also, there is but one unbegotten Being, God, even the Father; and one only-begotten Son, God, the Word and man; and one Comforter, the Spirit of truth; and also one preaching, and one faith, and one baptism; and one Church which the holy apostles established from one end of the earth to the other by the blood of Christ, and by their own sweat and toil;
I do also love the prophets as those who announced Christ, and as being partakers of the same Spirit with the apostles. For as the false prophets and the false apostles drew [to themselves] one and the same wicked, deceitful, and seducing spirit; so also did the prophets and the apostles receive from God, through Jesus Christ, one and the same Holy Spirit, who is good, and sovereign, and true, and the Author of [saving] knowledge. For there is one God of the Old and New Testament, “one Mediator between God and men,” for the creation of both intelligent and sensitive beings, and in order to exercise a beneficial and suitable providence [over them]. There is also one Comforter, who displayed His power in Moses, and the prophets, and apostles.

Tertullian a.d. 145–220
Then there is the Paraclete or Comforter, also, which He promises to pray for to the Father, and to send from heaven after He had ascended to the Father. He is called “another Comforter,” indeed; but in what way He is another we have already shown, “He shall receive of mine,” says Christ, just as Christ Himself received of the Father’s. Thus the connection of the Father in the Son, and of the Son in the Paraclete, produces three coherent Persons, who are yet distinct One from Another.

Origen a.d. 185–254
(In short)
“I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now; but when the Holy Spirit, the Comforter, is come

I think that we need to remember when discussing religious doctrine that two concepts are at play.

1)
Logic needs to be applied when the logic supports the believers beliefs.
So 1+1+1=1 is illogical and so the trinity doctrine is refuted.

2)
The "mystery of God" concept needs to be applied when this support believers beliefs.
So 1+1+1=1 is about the mystery of the unity of God made up of three parts, and the trinity doctrine is supported.

Disagreements arise when there is no agreement as to where these two concepts need to be applied.
