He is saying in response to "Mormons aren't Protestants" that "Smith started out as a protestant and used the KJV for portions of the BOM," and that "For Christians there are only two choices, Catholic or protestant." Protestants and Mormons are "all are on the exact same level," by "the only real Christians (Catholics)"

Thus according to him,

Catholics are the only "real Christians,"

But they may be Catholic or protestant,

Mormons and protestants all are on the exact same level due to shared denials of basic Catholic doctrines.

And as "heresy is heresy," there is no distinction to be made, then "There is no difference between Smith, Luther, Calvin etc.."

and that "Mormonism is no different/worse than Protestantism."

And that the Pope did not make "Protestants are separated brethren" a dogmatic statement.

Yet as shown, his own church denies that Mormon believers are Christian, thus they cannot be Protestant believers.

Then, after his sweeping shotgun statements, and after his assertion that only Catholics are "real Christians," and after contrary Catholic statements making clear distinction btwn Mormonism (non-Christian) and properly baptized Prots (Christian), he responds to "you will decide who is or who is not a Christian, not by what they teach but whether they belong to a group called catholic" that he is being misunderstood. Then affirms that Mormonism is no different/worse than Protestantism.

I do understand your LOL for thus verga is manifested to be a fringe myopic RC within the variety of members in the church of Rome.

Yes. The idea really merits nothing more than laughter.
