Is the compound HCL an acid or an alkaline?

HCL is a gas formed by a hydrogen atom and a chlorine atom. In contact with humidity in the air, it turns into a Hydrochloric acid. Because of its shared formula with the hydrochloric acid, there are many misleading explanations stating that HCL is the hydrochloric acid.(but it is actually a compound gas)Anyways, returning to your question, it is acidic as the fumes causes the blue litmus paper to turn red.
