There's a realist fer ya ... and an honest Catholic priest.

"distinct from the Being of God " = "but not in the Godhead"
Some quotes from Lee that agree :
"Only God is God, only God has the nature of God, and only God is transcendent and distinctive; therefore, only God is divine."
"Because we partake of the divine nature, it can rightly be said that we are divine. However, this definitely does not mean that we are evolving into God "
We can see that Lee uses the term "being divine" to not mean "being God Himself" but as partaking of the divine nature.
