Usage of the term in this era is misleading to your contemporaries, however. They hear "Father and Son" from a pulpit and they are going to think of dear old dad and themselves as the reference standard, two distinct individuals, and their resultant understanding of the Trinity will be incorrect and their resultant belief will not garner Salvation as they are denying, unaware, and mistaken about the true nature of Christ as, you note, it has been revealed in Scripture.
And as always, it's even worse for the Mormons. If you have a copy of the Tanner book, read the chapter on their idea of how all that works as revealed (confusingly) by Joe Smith, and further scrambled by Brigham Young. I'd hold open the possibility God Himself might be perplexed as to what to do with Mormons as even He won't be able to make heads or tails of it. It's VERY clear the Mormons can't. They might even be impervious to a revisional revelation as we might expect the new revelation to note where the current belief is lacking and how it should be modified, and they won't be able to process that.

The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
