You asked -- "What kind of "Christian" are you; what sect of Christianity do you belong to?"
The best description (although it's getting a bit overused these days) is "Evangelical". But, the term is getting a bit "worn" and somewhat "loose" these days.
In terms of "denomination" -- you can refer to the Southern Baptist Convention (and you'll find that they refer to Mormonism as a *cult* too). The Southern Baptist Convention is counted as the largest Protestant Denomination in the United States.
The *basic tenets* of the Christian faith -- will be the *exact same ones* that the Southern Baptist Convention adheres to (and which will be outlined, also, in the book "Kingdom of the Cults" by Walter Martin, as he defines, very precisely the historic Christian beliefs and what holds all Christians together). It's all *standard* and *basic* and *historic* Christianity.
It seems that you're very unfamiliar with this -- it would appear.
I hope that answers your question very well...
And then you asked -- "And who are YOU, to tell those who believe that Jesus Christ is their Lord and Savior, that they are NOT Christians?"
A person becomes a Christian by very well defined terms and doctrines -- as espoused in the Bible, the Word of God. They are outlined in the doctrines of the faith. For example -- if one was to become a member of a church of the Southern Baptist Convention -- they would go through classes that would ensure that they understood the basic and historic Christian faith and are able to agree with it -- and then they would be a member of that church. That's the way it usually goes.
You obviously have never been through one of those membership classes, learned about the historic Christian faith and have never had to agree to those same doctrines and tenets of the faith -- in order to become a member in one of these kinds of Christian churches.
It must be very unfamiliar to you...

I know all about Mormons. Probably more than you will ever know. So what?? No, they aren't Christians. AND???? What's your point?
I don't know how old you are, but I may have been through confirmation class ( in which I was a straight A student and the head of the class ), in the Methodist church long ago. That class was almost an entire year long and we went through the complete history of Judaism, Catholicism, and every single Protestant sect. The final exam was a killer and I easily received an A+ on it, being told that my essay was brilliant. We also had many an oral exams, extensive memorizations to do and be quizzed on, and I excelled at all of them; remembering still, just about every single thing I learned in those classes, to this very day.
I was and still am a Wesleyan Methodist of the old school; not one of those hippy/dippy UNITED METHODIST CHURCH ones.
You can get up off the floor now and I suggest, that in the future, you refrain from making absurd assumptions about people you know nothing at all about.
Your "respected" source, OTOH, was a DEFROCKED minister, who continually LIED about his education, his degrees, and his connection with not one, but TWO Baptist groups. He also LIED about being descended from Brigham Young, being related to Young, and a host of other things as well.
Your "respected" source was a LIAR, a fraud, and a con man!
And YOU are a fool!
