Person here from that Catholic creed is translated from persona which can mean some sort of mask.

That is not the meaning of "person" that I used, and obviously the Nicene Christians did not consider Christ to be merely a "mask." They were fighting against the Arians. You would be better off not taking Swedenborgian definitions and imposing them on the scripture.

Great way to cook up doctrine.

Mask is in any dictionary for persona... even Catholics will start to run when pressed for meaning.

And, persona or person does not come from Scripture - only the creeds!
