Ok
The eternal triune God reveals Himself to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, with distinct personal attributes, but without division of nature, essence, or being.

What's wrong with substance Patrick? It's not jargon.

I think in this context it is because substance in trinitarian discussions isn't used in the sense of the common meaning of the word which just means "stuff" or "what it's made out of"
so in that context, dividing the substance doesn't make sense - and the catholic church admits this in it's catechism and says that it's not using the word substance according to it's usual definition

That's exactly what we mean by it. In fact, R.C. Sproul once explained "of the same subtance" by saying it means "the same stuff".

Everything done by God is done by the Father, through the Son, in the Holy Spirit.
Take this sentence to its logical conclusion.
