You need to prove this premise: "By successive addition, I can get to an Actual Infinite". Your response is: "If I successively add an infinite number of times, I can".
It does not prove the point. When you successively add numbers 1,2,3 on the paper, why don't you get to an Actual Infinite? According to you, "If I successively add an infinite number of times, I can". So do that, and then I'll concede the argument.
Logically speaking, an eternal being can add an infinite number of times, so Angrboda isn't being illogical here. Call it begging the question all you want, but this sounds very trivially true.
You seem to not understand what she is saying actually.
I can count forever, logically speaking. But it doesn't mean that if I were to count forever, I would eventually finish counting.
ETA:
Actually, I can't see where Angrboda said what you claim she said. Even though it's not logically wrong.
