I believe in and try to follow the teachings of Jesus Christ. Therefore, I am a Christian.

I also happen to be LDS.

Christianity and LDS are mutually exclusive. What the LDS (and other cults) have done across time is to redefine terms in their own manners so that they can use the same "vocabulary" as Christians, but with PROFOUNDLY DIFFERENT meanings.

I am sure the LDSers believe in jesus christ, but assuredly they DO NOT believe in Jesus Christ.

Muslims also believe in Jesus. We don’t call them Christian either.

The terms and their definitions must be the same for a discussion to make any sense. Otherwise we can have a seemingly meaningful discussion and agree to “paint the house red”, only for me to return and see that you razed the garage.

LDSers use many of the same terms as Christians, but define them very differently.

“I am sure the LDSers believe in jesus christ, but assuredly they DO NOT believe in Jesus Christ.”

I’m only aware of one.

It amazes me how many people are so driven to “stake their claim” on Jesus Christ. “It’s my mountain! Get off!”

“... but I brought a picnic lunch for us...”
