Both do not show mormons as being Christian

Are you saying that if you are NOT a member then you are not a Christian?

and NCC indicates them to be another religion altogether.

I am still waiting for that link ...

Having some comprehension issues eh? Let me explain it again. As a liberal organization the WCC has a WIDE set of arms regarding the varieties of Christianity it (and its members) define AS Christian. Had you read the link closely - you would have noted that they included denominations that were NOT members of the WCC (hint hint). Notice those who were not listed - mormons, JW, christian science, etc - all who's fundamental doctrines are clearly opposite of even the very liberal core of the WCC.

Reading things can be hard, even with a link was provided. You will need to cut and paste this additional link -

http://www.ncccusa.org/members/

Take the time to read the list. Who is absent? And as my earlier link points out, they deal with mormons on a different basis.

They aren’t as plain spoken as some groups are, such as Catholic Answers, but this seems to pretty say what Godzilla is claiming.

“Paragraph 3 deliberately avoids making statements about a number of controversial issues. It does not, for example, attempt a definition of what constitutes a “religion.” Some Buddhists, for example, would not consider Buddhism to be a “religion.” It is often difficult to determine exactly what constitutes a religious tradition and what does not. For the same reason, the document does not deal with the question of modern “cults” and what constitutes a “cult” and what should be recognized as a bona fide religion. It also does not deal with the borders of Christianity. It does not, for example, pronounce on whether or not Jehovah’s Witnesses and Mormons are to be considered Christian. It is, however, interesting to note that the NCCC conducts its growing relationship with the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints as an interfaith relationship.”
