Umm...you do realize that the Holy Mother church changed that position, right? Vatican II re-affirmed that Protestants are brothers in Christ, however Mormons are not (John Paul II).

I can find quotes if you wish.

Not quite.. "No salvation outside the Church" is one of the most misunderstood teachings of the church.

Basing itself on Scripture and Tradition, the Council teaches that the Church, a pilgrim now on earth, is necessary for salvation: the one Christ is the mediator and the way of salvation; he is present to us in his body which is the Church. He himself explicitly asserted the necessity of faith and baptism, and thereby affirmed at the same time the necessity of the Church which men enter through baptism as through a door. Hence they could not be saved who, knowing that the Catholic Church was founded as necessary by God through Christ, would refuse either to enter it or to remain in it. (CCC 846)

reaganaut is correct, the Church does not accept Mormons as Christian.

Amazingly the Catholic faith survived The Inquisition, and the books of the Apocryphain in the Douay Bible, they create Saints, and are still called Christian. Do you note a double standard here?
