None of the above.
I don't believe God exists, but I also don't believe God
doesn't exist, and I don't believe that we can never know whether God exists or not.
So you are an agnostic.
Nope.

somebody denying God's existence is provable: somebody who believes that it is impossible to know whether or not God exists
You are exactly the same as most atheists in two out of three criteria (although, the last one is more of a theoretical point). The only difference is that most atheists choose to believe that god doesn't exist, as this is the rational and pragmatic position given the evidence available to us.
Thanks for proving that you are an Atheist, not an atheist. Religion is fun, isn't it?
As a Tolerist™, I believe that when mankind's knowledge of the universe is complete and perfect, we will then know whether or not God exists.
I suspect that is the case too, although I think it might be very hard to get complete and perfect knowledge of the universe. Although, having said that, even if we did have perfect knowledge of the universe, it's not guaranteed that we would know if there was an external or prior creator, as we might not be able to detect them. That is, a deist God might still be possible, but a theist God would definitely be ruled out.
If you do not know, then your knowledge is not perfect. If your knowledge is perfect, you will know, perforce.
