If they are "distinct" persons they are "separate" persons.
I would say right now there are thousands of Trinitarian web sites that use the words "separate persons".

MTD, I think you are correct. My recollection is that trinitarians sometimes use the term "seperate" regarding the three: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. However they also clearly also say that they believe these three seperate or distinct persons make up one monotheistic God.

"We did not wear uniforms. The lady workers dressed in the current fashions of the day, ...silks...satins...jewels or whatever they happened to possess. They were very smartly turned out, so that they made an impressive appearance on the streets where a large part of our work was conducted in the early years.
"It was not until long after, when former Holiness preachers had become part of us, that strict plainness of dress began to be taught.
"Although Entire Sanctification was preached at the beginning of the Movement, it was from a Wesleyan viewpoint, and had in it very little of the later Holiness Movement characteristics. Nothing was ever said about apparel, for everyone was so taken up with the Lord that mode of dress seemingly never occurred to any of us."
