Standard Mormon phrase is “Jesus is the Christ”. But they never explain WHAT that means to them. The word Christ translated ‘annointed’. They don’t state anything more specific.

Same thing goes when you ask them what Jesus ‘saves’ them from. It is a difficult question for Mormons to answer since their own theology states they must do all they can do and pay Jesus back like he is a loan shark. Now, if they mean that He ‘saves’ them from physical death, then that only means resurrection and that is Universal. In that sense, even Muslims and atheists are ‘saved’ by Jesus’ resurrection.

Quite the quandary.
