The "Was Jesus a Jew?" question only gets traction because of the ambiguity of the word "Jew".
Was Jesus a Hebrew of the tribe of Judah?—Yes.
Was Jesus a practitioner of the Rabbinic religion which we today call "Judaism"?—No.

A rare L from

. In reality:
Stephen, from Greek Στέφανος = Crown.
Mike, via Greek Μιχαήλ, from מִיכָאֵל = Who is like God?
Sam, via Greek Σαμουήλ, from שְׁמוּאֵל = the one who listens to God
Oliver, from ᚨᚾᚢᛚᚨᛁᛒᚨᛉ = the continuation of the ancestors.

The institutional Ukrainian Orthodox Church has existed continuously in the Ukraine since 1620. By contrast the Ukrainian state has only existed since 1991. So it is perverse to call the UOC a "foreign invader".

Your logical definition of the Trinity cannot pass a simple logic test. So you cannot distinguish between who believes in the Trinity and who doesn't, nor can you make it a requirement to be Christian.

A few thoughts re Orthodoxy in 2024:
1. Today, Anglicanism and Orthodoxy are different religions, in much the same way as Orthodoxy and Islam are different religions. Life will be easier when we treat discussions with Episcopalians as inter-religious, not ecumenical in nature.

In Orthodoxy, the formal structures of Indo-European religiosity are fulfilled & depaganized through sublimation into the fulfilment of the divine economy in Jesus Christ.
This is why, culturally, Orthodoxy is harder to grasp for those of non Indo-European or Semitic background.
They need to be studied. They are the last vestiges.
