How do Trinitarians worship God, probably not understanding who they worship?
Note: this question does not reflect my own opinion. This question was asked by another user. I ask it again in case some of the many people who are blocked by that user want to answer it.

Sounds like the original question was asked by a Jehovah's Witness. I see a spate of them on R&S just now but I am also unable to answer because I have been blocked. First of all, let's deal with that silly idea that Trinitarians probably do not understand who they worship.
Jehovah's Witnesses put it about that the Trinity is a pagan doctrine, taken from Egyptian and Hindu triads of gods. They are wrong. A triad of gods bears no resemblance to the Trinity. In a triad of gods, there are three gods. In the Trinity, there is only the One Being of God - not three.
Trinitarians worship the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, three persons within the One Being of God. All three are co-eternal and co-equal. The premortal Jesus was there, before creation, as the eternal and uncreated Word of God. The Word became flesh and dwelt with man. That would be Jesus. It's there in John chapter 1. The Holy Spirit was there, before creation. Both the Word and the Spirit were involved in creation. Neither of them were ever created.
So Trinitarians understand very clearly who they worship - the One Being of God. We worship Him in spirit and in truth (John 4:24). Of all the disciples, John was the one who most clearly recognized who Jesus REALLY was - not some created archangel called Michael (as Jehovah's Witnesses think), but God incarnate - God with us.
And just in case the asker of those other questions is trying to suggest that Trinitarians are confused, that they think the Father is the Son and the Son is the Father, be aware that Trinitarians say no such thing. When Jesus was baptized in the River Jordan, all three persons of the One Being of God were present: the Father, whose voice was heard from heaven, the Son, who was being baptized, and the Holy Spirit, who appeared in the form of a dove.
That is why, when Jesus died, the Father and the Holy Spirit did not also die. Three persons who subsist in the One Being of God.
P.S. Orthodox Trinitarians do not subscribe to the Oneness Pentecostal (Jesus Only) view of the Trinity. I think Jehovah's Witnesses get confused because they don't realise that view is unbiblical.

Trinitarians know very well who they worship, its those who dont know God who can't understand who Trinitarians worship.

We simply pray to any one, any two or all three of them and expect to get the same result. Trying to question or make sense out of it is futile. Although we are at liberty to contemplate on it, those who accept it wholeheartedly remain and those who don't are free to stray away. If it didn't work that way, it wouldn't be called "faith" now would it?

"In the name of the Father, The Son, and The Holy spirit, Amen." It's not that hard.
