Is Sephiroth actually Jenova?

Wow, you're sure of yourself (and frankly, come across as rather arrogant)

True, Sephiroth was controlling Jenova rather than the other way round, and I had some things mixed up, but Sephiroth himself was always sat at the crater. The one you follow around is Jenova, it is indeed Sephiroth controlling 'it' but it's not his body, which was always sat in that crater. He's controlling Jenova's shape shifting abilities to appear as himself.

It's been discussed countless times on here over the course of a decade...

Also if you supposedly destroyed Jenova just before Tifa comes to ask for the black materia, how does that explain there being 2 Sephiroths, one wandering around outside and one sat in his cocoon? How do you explain the thing labelled "Jenova" that you fight in the final battles?
