Are Seventh Day Adventists Arians like the Jehovah Witnesses or are they Christian like the Catholics and Protestants?

Are you Arians, Christian (Trinitarians) or both and why?

    Seventh day adventitsts started out as neo-arians, but went full trinitarian after a bit. Jehovah's Witnesses are still full arian despite the fact that none of them who have come to my door even know what that means.

    SDA's claim to be trinitarian but they are totally tritheistic, they worship 3 separate persons like the mormons.

    they believe that the Father, Son and Holy spirit are 3 separate persons who are only One in unity and purpose. not substance. and they do not believe that christ is co-equal to the father but has a lesser position (they also teach that he is michael the archangel). i was part of the SDA church for a few years so i know what they teach about the matter and they do not teach the orthodox trinity. (they teach tritheism like mormons but call it the trinity)..

    although,

    thier so called version of the trinity was made an official fundamental belief in 1989 during one of their conference meetings to aviod being written up in a cult book. (the church itself started teaching the trinity sometime during the 1930's. Before that, they didn't believe that Christ was eternal but was a created being and that the holy spirit was just the power of God the Father and Christ)

    Those are man made labels, if you don't mind being called that find

    But JWs are not Arians ,Protestant, etc

    They don't consider themselves that,

    http://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2009813?q=prote...

    JWs believe God's first begotten son was Micheal , he was given the name Jesus after he took flesh

    Jehovah's name is inside of Jesus name "my name is within him"

    They don't believe the holy spirit is a person, but Jehovah's active force

    Son of man, is coming back as Micheal
