Any church that calls itself the "Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints"
can be presumed to consider itself Christian.  And therefore it is Christian.
The opinions of other churches are notoriously biased. (Would you consider
the Lutherans to be Christians or Heretics?  A lot of people died over this
question.)  Interestingly,  a letter to the Raleigh News and Observer,
in response to an article about LDS missionaries in the area, cited the
doctrinal differences between Mormons and Baptists and concluded that the
Mormon church is a cult.  Apparently a cult is any religion that disagrees
with the Baptists  (which, of course, includes other Baptists).

That is true, too.
