Lots of Mormons (most?) have the same dedication to Jesus Christ

Their dedication is to the church. You leave the church and see what happens. A true Christian is simply a Christian. His denomination is irrelevant. A Baptist can worship in a Presbyterian church and a Presbyterian can worship in a Baptist church. I can go to a Catholic church and worship there even though I am Protestant.

A Christian is part of the catholic church of Jesus Christ. There is no one true denomination. A Mormon who accepts Christ as his Lord and Savior is a Christian. A Mormon who feels the Mormon church is the only true church is not a Christian because his allegiance is to the earthly church, not Christ.

You cannot take Catholic communion unless you are baptized in the church. You cannot participate in all sacraments if you are a protestant. There are theological differences that in the past were viewed as important, but in our secularized world seem quaint and obscure.

Highlighting the differences with Mormonism is a theological matter, but I dont see it as a politically viable one.

The question a Christian voter needs to ask is:
Is the values he espouses and lives by my values?

For Romney, he can make the case that his faith, his belief in family, etc. are aligned with Christian voters.

In 2000, almost half of America voted for a Jewish Vice President. It wasn't an issue. I don't see how this will be an issue either.
