Oh really? I didn't know that this was a point of contention. The Trinity is a super confusing concept--even to me--but the end result is that we only believe in one, indivisible God (despite what the name Trinity might imply). In Catholicism, in fact, we have the Shema Prayer as part of our liturgy insisting on one God; and our prayers, though made in the name of the Trinity always conclude--one God.
Edit:
Also, feel free to ignore this post as it's potentially quarrelsome. I don't mean to ignite a potential powderkeg of theological belief, because the accusation that Christians worship a different God is gonna be super touchy with just about everyone. Being told that "you don't worship HaShem" is a huge slap in the face to any person, I think. So I think it would be better to lay down this conversation since it's only bound, I think to get hurtful. (Hurtful to me.)
Sorry if that sounds offensive as it's not meant to be.
What I am saying is that Judaism believes that G-d is one, does not and cannot have separate entities.
I understand Christianity believes G-d is one, but the concept of a human being G-d and a separate "spirit" being G-d as well just has no basis in Judaism.
So for that reason, we do not believe it is the same G-d. Unless you are only referring to the "father" part.
