Catholics Aren't Christians?

"Christianity" is just an umbrella term for any religion which has Jesus as the central prophet and/or cites the Bible as it's Holy scripture, so Catholics, Protestants, Jehovah's Witnesses, Mormons, etc etc. I was raised Catholic and I've always thought of Catholics as Christians.

It's comparable to in Islam where you have Shia and Sunni Muslims. They're different forms of Islam but they are both still Islamic forms of religion.

I've read the Tanner's book on the Mormon's and you are nominally correct about the Mormons today, but they were rather more Christian in the past, and at some vaguely definable time in the future, they will be so much less as to not be christian at all. It will be hard to tell, and it is safe to assume their standard befuddlement on everything will continue to assert itself, most likely to a degree that they won't realize it happened, won't admit it did happen if it is pointed out to them, and then will maintain their church has always been non christian, and they will hold all those views simultaneously.
