>>Both you and they claim the title.<<

Very observant. I don’t tell people I am a Christian. I tell them I am a Professing Christian. It is my opinion.

But I am not discussing whether Catholics or Mormons are Christians. Rather, I am discussing whether Catholicism or Mormonism teach Christianity according to the Bible. Since Catholicism (to the best of my knowledge) teaches full grace, I see it as generally Christian. Since Mormonism teaches Grace with “some assembly required” I see it as leaving out the cornerstone of the faith. It is the tenets of Christianity sans the basic tenet upon which all the others must stand.

Can't say I understand this - Catholicism teaches definite behaviors are required to achieve salvation. If this is being separated from "Grace," then what good is Grace without salvation?
