Catholics profess faith in a Triune God - that means three Persons in one God. God is Father/Creator, Son/Redeemer and Spirit/Sanctifier.
No; and this problem was noted as long ago as the time of Job, who points out (36:15) that we tend to open up to God only in times of tribulation. The Talmud-sages mentioned this also (midrash, Mishnat Rabbi Eliezer ch.12).
There is no such person. An agnostic is a person who believes that it is impossible to know/or is skeptical about the existence of God but does not profess true atheism. A Christian is a person who believes in the existence of God and has faith in God. So the phrase a 'Christian agnostic' has no meaning
Those who do not have "the gift of faith" would say, "none" - because God does not really exist. And Christians continue to be strangely silent on the topic...
Romans 10:9-10 9 If you declare with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved.

He struggles with the idea of organized religion and questions the role of God in the suffering of the people he sees around him. Casey is on a personal journey of self-discovery and spiritual awakening, which leads him to reevaluate his beliefs and understanding of faith.

From the Glossary of The Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition, English translation 1994:Faith: both a gift of God and a human act by which the believer gives personal adherence to God who invites his response, and freely assents to the whole truth that God has revealed. It is this revelation of God which the Church proposed for our belief, and which we profess in the Creed, celebrate in the sacraments, live by right conduct that fulfills the twofold commandment of charity (as specified in the Ten Commandments), and respond to in our prayer of faith. Faith is both a theological virtue given by God as grace, and an obligation which flows form the first commandment of God (CCC 26, 142, 150, 1814, 2087).
