I guess my response is that assigning the property "exists" to the J-C concept of God is contradictory if existence implies an essence within material reality that is bounded by time. Of course, that also implies that calling God a "being" is also contradictory (yet, how else are we to express the possibility). I think the simplest statement that can be made about the subject is really that an hypothetical omnipresent, omniscient God transcends not only the universe but consequently our ability to properly conceive of the subject and thus to analyze it with verbal logic or reason. So I don't think God as a subject for analysis is all that meaningful. As a subject of revelation, now that's a different matter.
