To me the difference is, "distinct" = "to distinguish one from another"; "separate", = "to be apart".
Well using your definition I would describe the trinity as "distinct" to distinguish one from another, separate for they occupy different "entities" (for lack of a better word, and "One" for they share the exact same essence- absolute deity! That is why the coined word trinity is very apt.
