a thomistic articulation of an e/e distinction would probably go something like this:
God, as the pure act of existence, serves as the perfective end of creatures by virtue of the unique role existence has as a created essence’s principle of actuality, and therefore His energetic procession toward creatures will always be self-manifesting yet proportionate to the creature’s reception
as a result of this, no divine self-manifestation toward creatures can in and of itself be said to communicate the divine essence (considered as divine being in its supre-essential transcendence), but only signify it

Stop getting involved in useless, bad-faith, bad-intent quarrels that only make you angry and cause you to sin. It’s not good for your soul and accomplishes absolutely nothing. Do not get into arguments with people who don’t want to do the opposite of the former and are actually willing to have a fruitful discussion without it turning into an uncharitable game of semantics and ad-homonyms.

MEMENTO, HOMO, QUIA PULVIS ES.
It is most useful for our salvation to say often to ourselves: I must one day die! The Church every year on Ash Wednesday brings this remembrance to the faithful: Memento, homo, quia pulvis es et in pulverem reverteris! Remember, man, that thou art dust and into dust shalt thou return!
O my God, give me light, give me strength to spend the rest of my life in serving and loving Thee.
Let us, then, animate our faith. Our pilgrimage on earth will not be of long duration: our home is eternity, where he who has practised the greatest mortifications during life shall enjoy the greatest glory. St. Peter says the Saints are the living stones of which the celestial Jerusalem is built. But before they are translated to the city which is above, they must be polished by the salutary chisel of penance.
