Christianity is not defined by an opinion about another faith ... but is defined by the central belief that Christ is the Resurrected Son of God, and the only available path to Salvation. To the extent that an “anti-Mormon” believes that, he is a Christian.
Huh, well, that’s my core belief and I am LDS. Can I put my name in your quotes instead of “anti-Mormon”?
Define the LDS view of ‘salvation’, and are other rites/works at ALL required to enter the presence of God according to the LDS?
Can exaltation be found outside the LDS church?
One of the problems in witnessing/talking to the LDS is they use Christian terms but have their own meanings for them, so they will say things that SOUND Christian but in reality bear no resemblance to Christian doctrine.

You might want to look up the meaning of words like THE and ONLY. because either you are lying about your faith, or you have no idea what mormonism is.
Correction, check post #31
There are essential tenets of Christianity which must be believed in order to properly claim the title of Christian — Creation, flood, virgin birth, miracles, crucifixion, bodily resurrection, only path to Salvation, 2nd coming, etc. There are also certain moral tenets which are undeniable — no other Gods, marriage, 10 Commandments, anti-homosexuality, etc.
There are also quite a few tangential or peripheral Christian beliefs which are non-essential and debatable among faithful Christians — prophecy, the details of the 2nd coming, rapture (none, pre-trib, post-trib, mid-trib ... blah, blah), celibacy for clergy, the primacy of the Catholic church, infallbility, etc.
I will admit that I don’t know if Mormons qualify. I would guess that quite a few don’t ... but I don’t know enough about the faith to definitively say one way or another — certainly not with regard to any specific individual. To the extent that you have the essential tenets of Christianity down, you may be OK — but whether further Mormon doctrines contradict or violate those tenets is between you and the Almighty.

Nope sorry. Your definition of "Christ", "Son of God", and "salvation" are substantially different than what Christians beleive.
What are your peripheral beliefs?
We can find 'republicans' all day long that have the same CORE beliefs as Conservatives, and then have a whole lot of OTHER things they 'believe' that show their true colors.
