“If upon hearing the Gospel Message from a Mormon missionary”. So lets hear it so we can judge for ourseves...

Since I'm not a Mormon missionary, I can't say but from Brigham Young's website, I find the following:

The gospel or doctrine of Christ teaches that salvation is available through his authorized servants to all who will (1) believe in Christ; (2) repent of their sins; (3) be baptized in water as a witness of their willingness to take his name upon them and keep his commandments; (4) receive the Holy Ghost by the laying-on of hands; and (5) endure to the end.
I see no problem with any of that serious enough to say such believer is not a Christian.

Well fso391 and OKSooner lets see what a Mormon leader sai8d about the Mormon idea of salvation...

as you will read it does not agree with the Christian Bible...

“Salvation can not be gained except through baptism of water and the spirit, nor can exaltation be achieved except through temple endowments and the sealing of families together for eternity. These saving and exalting ordinances are performed vicariously in temples for the worthy dead who did not have the opportunity to receive them in this life. We are commanded to go with our might, collect all the accurate genealogical data we can, and perform these saving and exalting ordinances for our worthy ancestors. Obviously, due to the frailties, incapacities, and errors of mortal men, and because the records of past ages are often scanty and inaccurate, this great work can not be completed for every worthy soul without assistance from on high.

The millennial era is the time primarily, when this assistance will be given by resurrected beings.

Genealogical records unknown to us will then become available. Errors committed by us in sealings or other ordinances will be rectified, and all things will be arranged in proper order. Temple work will be the great work of the millennium.”

Joseph Fielding Smith- Doctrines of Salvation Vol. 2 P.P. 251-252
