about 2 percent as Mormon.

Mormons are not Christians...
Mormonism is a separate religion with very little to recognize as possible Christianity..
Mormonism is closer to Islam..
In fact since the founder of Mormonism, Joseph Smith denounce Christianity, and Christians, and the Bible as false, and wanted to be a “Second Mohammad” and was actually called “the American Mohammad”, Mormonism could be said to be an off shoot of Islam, or a denomination of Islam..
But it would not ever be confused with Christianity..
and Joseph Smith never intended it to be..
Shouldn't protestants be called catholic protestants?
That is what they are protesting, right?
Depends on your definition of "Christianity." Which vary from "anybody who considers Christ to be a great moral teacher" (by which definition a lot of Buddhists, Hindus, atheists and Muslims qualify) to "only my particular denomination, and I'm not too sure about most of them." So that's a question that cannot be answered without unilaterally imposing your own definition.
and Joseph Smith never intended it to be..
Here you are flat out inaccurate. Old Joe considered himself to be the restorer of "true Christianity." So it is just inaccurate to say that Joe didn't claim to be a Christian. The same continues to this day for his followers.
You (and I) may of course disagree with him as to whether this belief of his/theirs was/is accurate. But not that he believed, or at any rate claimed to.
