While the definition of Christian includes you, Drich, it is not defined by you. Words are defined by usage, and in common usage both Mormons and Catholics are called Christians. Your attempt to dictate usage by fiat is noted and ignored. Mormons and Catholics are Christians whether you agree with it or not.
No matter how perverse a belief is, it can not be ascribed to christianity just because one makes that claim.
I could not be Atheist simply because I adopt the title. Why? because I go against it's key rule. Like wise one can not be consider to be Christian if they inturn follow the rules.
If you wish to call a mormon a christian, then feel free to do so. just know your disregaurd for the rules, will inspire my own disregaurd for the rules.
Maybe i should change my belief status to 'God fearing atheist.' or Jesus loving shintoist, or Holy Spirit indwelt buddhist!

7 There is no other message that is the Good News, but some people are confusing you. They want to change the Good News about Christ. 8 We told you the true Good News message. So anyone who tells you a different message should be condemned—even if it’s one of us or even an angel from heaven! 9 I said this before. Now I say it again: You have already accepted the Good News. Anyone who tells you another way to be saved should be condemned!
According to Joseph Smith His 'good news' about his new jesus came from an angel... It's almost like Paul had Joseph in mind when he wrote this.
And what about the people that think your interpretation of the Bible and the "rules of their faith" is just plain wrong?
Then we can study the book of Galations in depth, and we can discuss why they think this way.
