three-fold nature of Church

For various reasons, I'm becoming persuaded that the Orthodox,
Catholic, Protestant distinctions within Christianity serve a
positive end, and may be reflective of the Church's trinitarian
origin. Strange, but I've not heard this said before. Am I missing
something?
Please do not misunderstand. This is not a "branch theory" I'm alluding to.

Please say more on this. Lesslie Newbigin (of blessed memory) spoke of the three strands of Catholic (presumably including Orthodox). But I have not heard the way you have phrased it. Neither do I see a particular trinitarian theme emerging.
