This is true, but Catholics also worshipped and pray to different saints. The Quran only mentions Jesus, Mary and Allah, there is no mention of saints or the Holy Spirit; therefore, a child can logically infer Allah's understanding of the three were son, mother and father. it doesn't take a Biblical or Quranic scholar to see this.
No, Christians or Catholic worships or believes in such a trinity as implied by Allah. In my opinion, Islam's prophet didn't research Christian belief deep enough in the 7th century and now Muslims have to dream up excuses for a clear and obvious discrepancy to everyone but them, uhm, that makes me wonder.
In fact, the information that the third person of the trinity was and is the Holy Spirit and not Allah to Christians was accessible to your prophet in the 7th century. Perhaps what confused him was the belief that the Holy Spirit was Gabriel instead of God. Still Muslims today believe that Gabriel is the Holy Spirit, but he is only an angle messenger, and not the Holy Spirit who is God.
