"we've got fruits, nuts, and flakes, "

If it walks like a duck, and quacks like a duck, I favor calling it a duck. One thing Mormon scripture does say is that a large portion (1/3 or 1/2, more probably the latter) will fall away from the Gospel in the latter days. I am pretty sure Harry Reid will be one of those, and heck, I may be one, myself. Humans are imperfect, but that doesn't invalidate the scriptures or the system of belief. It is the church that is perfect, not the people in it. It may also be heretical, but I believe that God WILL know his own, whatever church they attend. I had my kids attending a Lutheran school in our area for several years, and while I find their doctrine suspect, there is no doubt in my mind that the folks running that school are more likely to make it to heaven than I am.
