//For Christians there are only two choices, Catholic or protestant. If you are not fully in communion with the Catholic Church and profess a belief in Jesus you are protestant. //

Umm...no. Protestants are a breakoff of Catholics. Mormons are part of the ‘restoration’ branch and are pseudo-Christian cult.

BTW, The Pope even said while Protestants are separated brethren, Mormons are not and not protestants. Also Catholics will accept Protestant baptism for conversion, but not Mormon baptism.

Joseph Smith was a Protestant. He then went off and began his own "reformation." There is no difference between Smith, Luther, Calvin etc...

The Pope did not make this a dogmatic statement. And further not all protestant baptisms are accepted. There are several that do not use the Trinitarian formula.
