What's funny is that I've never once heard a Mormon question whether or not other denominations were true Christians.
I guess they were paying attention to that whole speck-in-your-eye-log-in-your-own thing that somebody once said.

18 My object in going to inquire of the Lord was to know which of all the sects was right, that I might know which to join. No sooner, therefore, did I get possession of myself, so as to be able to speak, than I asked the Personages who stood above me in the light, which of all the sects was right (for at this time it had never entered into my heart that all were wrong)—and which I should join.
19 I was answered that I must join none of them, for they were all wrong; and the Personage who addressed me said that all their creeds were an abomination in his sight; that those professors were all corrupt; that: “they draw near to me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me, they teach for doctrines the commandments of men, having a form of godliness, but they deny the power thereof.â€

They believe the exact same thing about Christ that the rest of the christian faith does. That makes them (Christ)ians.
No, they don't, which means they're not part of the Christian faith. Adjacent to it, yes, but separate.

Anyone that believes that (mod) is a Christian.
Do you really want me to go through the list of everything about that statement that is different in Mormonism than it is in Biblical Christianity? The same words mean something very different to Mormons than they do to Christians.

I was speaking of Mormons that I know personally. I've never heard Joseph Smith or Bringham Young say anything and have read very little of them, so I can't really judge what kind of people they were (I do think Smith was either lying or crazy, but that's not a reflection on his modern followers oddly enough).

Look.
I understand. Your doctrine demands that their crazy is totally different from other sects crazy and that means they don't to be part of the club.
You should understand that every sect of christianity has experienced this exact same bias from other sects over the years and that quietly....most of them still do.
Find a southern baptist that really believes the Pope is a good christian and talk to them about it. Then ask a Lutheran about a baptist, or a Seventh Day Adventist, or a Jehovah Witness, or a Pentacostal, or Kaolin adherent, or any of the other thousands of independent sects of the christian religion.
You will find that many, if not most, of the individuals think any sect except their own....are abhorrent to god. It's why the different sects exist in the first place.

The founders of new sects of a religion do tend to think that the existing branches are corrupt. That tends to be why they found new branches.

Knock yourself out. However, none of it will have anything to do with whether or not they are Christians.
