Whether someone is or is not a Christian or not obviously defends on your definition of the term. By many definitions Mormons and JWs do not qualify, and by others Catholics do not.

Personally, I suspect the definition that counts is that of Jesus. Lacking direct revelation from him to me on the subject, I give all those who claim to be Christians the benefit of the doubt. If Jesus disagrees with their claim, we'll all find out in due course.

Is it a sin to wish the Mormons and JW's would arrive at the door at the same time?

Amen. You win for the most intelligent response yet.

Sensible enough. Of course, Jesus seems to have considered himself a Jew!

True.

Lacking direct revelation from him to me on the subject...

False. Your assumption that you do not already have direct revelation to you on the subject is a very, very, very big mistake, I'm sad to say. The revelation may not be direct enough for your taste, but it is direct enough for God to justly hold you accountable for your rejection of it.

Cordially,
