The question was "Is this the correct definition, theologically?"

Right. You got it. Now can you vote?

So I was right the first time? The intent of your question is "Is a Person a Hypostasis"?

No, you were right the last time, when you said "So then you are not asking if a Person is a hypostasis but rather is the definition of person that phrase". That is, if by "that phrase" you were referring to the candidate definition in the first post. Sorry if I misunderstood you, there.

To reiterate, the question is this:

"Is this the correct definition, theologically?"

Referring to this definition:

13. Theology. any of the three hypostases or modes of being in the trinity, namely the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost.
