It is apparent that you are not understanding the wording of the Trinity, because the Trinity agrees that each person of the Godhead (Trinity) are in fact distinct from each other. The Father is a person (or as LDS say personage), the Son a separate person, and the HS also a separate person. But they are all God collectively or individually. They have the same, unique, one of a kind nature, which is their divinity. They have always been God before time existed because they created time and space. Satan could not possibly be included in this
tri-unity because he is an angel, a created being. Satan is no where equal to God.

If we all may be one, JUST as the Father and the Son are, does that make us all different aspects of the same person?

This again is a good example of not understanding what the Trinity really is.

Note, it says one God AND Father. Not just One God. It's placing one "aspect" of the Trinity clearly above the other. Now, if there were a Trinity, would it not be "GOD" above them all? The composite of the Triune? How can a part be greater than the whole?

God and the Father are synonymous. God is the Father and the Father is God, there is no separation of the two. You cannot divide or separate God into parts.
