Exactly correct. The Arab Christians refer to YHWH as "A-L-H" in the same way that Jews and Aramaic Christians do. A generic word for "god/God."
The Arab Muslims seem to have turned it into a replacement for YHWH, a personal name.
A Christian should be as comfortable with calling YHWH "God/Theos/Deos/Alaha/Alah/Allah/Eloh/El/etc." These are all Christian terms.
