This is not “denominationalism” that we’re talking about here. This goes *across the board* for most all Christian denominations and forms the “core message” of Christianity, regardless of the denomination that we’re talking about.
They are pretty much all in agreement on the basic, foundational and historic Christian faith, teachings and doctrines (not about church governance and some other minor, non-salvation issues).
The Mormons, on the other hand, reject — out of hand — those basic, historic and foundational Christian teachings and doctrines, saying that they are defective and not true — that only *they* have the true teachings of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. So, they — by their own “denouncements” of historic, basic and foundational Christianity have put themselves in that separate category.
However, *while* doing that — they also seek to be perceived as “just another denomination” of Christianity — which they are not. They are a cult group — something that you wouldn’t have one Christian denomination say about another Christian denomination — but you do say it about Mormon teachings and doctrines. Thus — there’s the difference. It’s simply *not Christian* teaching and doctrine.
For example, I don’t know of any mainline and historic Christian denomination which would say that Jesus is the spirit brother of Lucifer. But, the Mormons do. That’s just a *minor point* — given all their other teachings which are *not* Christian teachings.
As far as Christianity, in general is concerned (not “denominations”...), it is *exclusive* in that Jesus Christ says that it’s only *He* (himself) that is the way to God and that there is *no other way* (not “no other denomination”). It’s *only* Jesus Christ, as the One we’re given in the Bible that is the *only way* to salvation — and that’s *not* the spirit brother of Lucifer (i.e., Satan) either... LOL...
Also, what is with all of the astrics?

The LDS never claim to be a break off of another denomination when LDS believe that Jesus Christ himself throught Joseph Smith restored His Church once again on earth...
just remember “StarT” when the tribulation is in full bloom someday I know you will never allow yourself to knock at the gate of Zion looking for help!
I am sure for the last couple of hundred years your church has been preparing the flock to be ready!
