It's a colloquialism. Per the Merriam-Webster dictionary, Mormons are Christians per the definition provided. Feel free to ask them the following phrased question:

"When Mormons are talking to other Mormons -- what do they mean when they refer to somebody as a Christian?" (i.e. our new neighbor Bob is a Christian)

Colloquialisms take priority over dictionaries within the Mormon community. 

Elon Musk was born in Africa -- does that make him an African American?
Elon Musk is a naturalized American and is therefore an American.  Full stop.

Nice to learn that Mormons make up their own language as well as their own 'religion'.
