Now, don’t start this without a proper explanation.

My question was directed to some person who emphatically judged that Mormons were not Christians and had cited many reasons why there weren’t. Granted, we are entering an area of personalized stipulation and selective perceptions, so we can have many opinions.

Before I am subjected to responses by all those who you childishly alerted, please understand that I am a former altar boy - - one who knew the entire mass in Latin - - and went to Catholic School for six years. I am familiar with the Church.

Yes, they are Christians, as are all the others who follow Christ.

I would not get too frustrated over this if I was you. The Eucharist is a very hard thing to learn. Even Our Lord had to deal with disbelief:

John 6:60 Many therefore of his disciples, hearing it, said: "This saying is hard; and who can hear it?"…66 After this, many of his disciples went back and walked no more with him.

St Paul tells us,

1 Cor 2:14 But the sensual man perceives not these things that are of the Spirit of God. For it is foolishness to him: and he cannot understand, because it is spiritually examined.

Understanding the Eucharist definitely falls into that category of things that require the Holy Spirit's enlightenment. (How many Catholics don't even understand it and, thus, fall prey to deceivers?)

The best thing you can do is to pray for them as St. Paul prayed for the Church at Ephesus:

Eph 1:15b making commemoration of you in my prayers, 17 that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give unto you the spirit of wisdom and of revelation, in the knowledge of him: 18 The eyes of your heart enlightened that you may know what the hope is of his calling and what are the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints.
