In my opinion, catholicism is also not really christian eithr...they call themselves catholic obviously instead of christian.

The further you get from the original the less christian you are. Its like saying english is latin.
Mormons and catholics are rooted in christianity but they have mutated it quite a bit and made it something different.

I personally think the distinction is silly. You "are" whatever sect/belief you follow and live.
The problem is, by pushing the John 3:16 thing as the end all be all espousal of "faith not works", you pretty much f*ck yourself when you then try to claim, "oh, except for THEM."

Yeah Tali.
The word "Protestant" seems to be lost on ol' Eodoll, there.

I had a dream. It was an incredible dream. When I awoke, I had a huge mess to clean up.

I'm always generally stunned at the lack of knowledge people have about the history of the church. And I am by no means a Theologian.

There was just christian at around the year 300.. Then the churche broke.
One remained christian and the other church formed catholics. From then on christianity started forming a bunch of diversions and craziness.. Priest marriage rules, war structure, kingdoms, thousands of saints, purgatory, exorcism, etc... All this weird crap that was not in the one and only christian church.
So call them bible worhippers but not true christians. The ethiopian church, apostolic church, coptic and even orthodox christians adhere more to the original verion of christianity.

Mormons will be the first to tell you they aren't Christians. Their religion contradicts with Christianity in many ways, specially the part where Jesus and Lucifer are brothers.
I've been told by missionarys that I'm gonna go to hell even if I followed the Christian doctrine to the letter. They told me that it wasn't enough that Jesus died for my sins, I had to be baptized in their church or im gonna burn fer sure. 
The Mormons you've met were idiots or were screwing with you, then. They don't even believe in a traditional hell.
I know many Mormons and not a one of them has ever said they think they're anything other than Christian.

Youre wrong, mormons do not recognize non mormon baptism (and vice versa).

Now you're starting to get into my reasons for thinking all worldly institutionalized religions are f*cked. But we digress.
The fact remains, this is an American argument. By using John 3:16 as their "prime directive" and embracing faith-not-works, American Protestant "Christians" have zero grounds to claim Mormons are not similarly "Christian."
Sorry. It's just the case.

The Catholic Church was formed while Jesus was still alive.
The Confession of Peter (which is talked about in Matthew, Mark, and Luke) is considered the origin and the founding of the Catholic Church.
Even with that said, there was no formal Christian Church before 300. They were generally parts of the jewish community before that.
Anyway you really want to look at this, Catholicism and the genesis of Christianity go hand in hand.
