And that is literally the basis of so many other denominations viewing Mormonism as a false religion, or a non-Christian one.
The Catholic Church has spent years studying Mormon teachings on baptism and concluded Mormon's are so disordered on the topic they will not accept Mormon baptisms as valid. Catholic hierarchy does recognize most other (ostensibly) Christian denominations baptismal rites and beliefs as valid, but NOT Mormons.
That's pretty close to asserting Mormon's are not Christians, if it isn't actually asserting they are not Christians.

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