Which term pair is used as equivalents for the third person of the Trinity?

• A. Holy Ghost; Holy Spirit
• B. Spirit; Ghost
• C. Father; Son
• D. Faith; Hope

Answer: (A)

The third person of the Trinity refers to the Holy Spirit. Holy Spirit and Holy Ghost are two different terms for the same divine person, with "Holy Spirit" being the more contemporary form and "Holy Ghost" the older English rendering. They are used interchangeably to name the same Person, emphasizing holiness and the Spirit’s distinct role within the Trinity. Using just "Spirit" or "Ghost" alone can be less precise, since adding "Holy" identifies this as the sacred, divine Person rather than any other spirit. The other options point to the other two persons of the Trinity (Father and Son) or to theological virtues (Faith and Hope), not to the third person.
