~”FUNDAMENTALIST Latter Days Saints are Mormons.

Is THIS a lie or the truth?”~

They could reasonably be classified into that category.

Hmmm... He's going to make fun of us for that. :-)

Here's the rationale for my answer:

"Mormon is a term used to describe the adherents, practitioners, followers or constituents of Mormonism. The term most often refers to a member of the The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), which is commonly called the Mormon Church. The LDS Church believes that "Mormon" may only properly be applied to its members; however, the term is occasionally used more broadly to describe any individual or group that claims belief in the Book of Mormon, including other Latter Day Saints groups. According to Latter Day Saint belief, Mormon is the name of the prophet who compiled the book of scripture known as the Book of Mormon."
