You’re a fool if you think one who bears light is Satan.
Satan is a fallen seraphim. Seraphim are bearers of light. “Lucifer” seems to be a title rather than a name. Satan no longer uses that name or title (whichever it was for him) as he no longer bears light (except of the illusionary kind.)
 
Ain’t no demon ever called by the name Lucifer. Lucifer is a name of Jesus.
“Lucifer” or “Morning Star” is a title of Jesus. It used to be either the name or title of Satan (as stated above.)

I am pretty sure “Satan” itself is a title as well. It means “opponent” or “adversary”.
 
I am starting to suspect that Lucifer is an idea, not an entity.

In Genesis he is a snake, and in Job he is arguably an angel, who talks to God in heaven and is called ha-Satan.
Genesis does not say that the snake was the devil. It only says “serpent”. It never says it was the devil.
 
The Dhouay-Rheims Catholic English Bible (not just the Protestant KJV Bible) uses the following words:
Isaias (Isaiah) 14:12
How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, who didst rise in the morning? how art thou fallen to the earth, that didst wound the nations?
Apocalypse (Revelation) 22:16
I Jesus have sent my angel, to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the root and stock of David, the bright and morning star.
(is there a CATHOLIC version of the Bible that actually uses the ENGLISH word “Lucifer” speaking of Christ?)

METAPHORICALLY ONLY Christ and Lucifer are each the “Morniing Star”. But the accepted English word Lucifer. as commonly used by Catholics, refers only to Satan, no matter what the history of the word was. If the “origination” of a word was all that determined its validity, we would be saying “serpent” instead of “devil”.

I think that there is later reference to him being the devil, though. In Revelation isn’t there something?

Possibly. I re-read revelations just the other day but don’t remember. Ill have to take a look.
