All many of us are asking is for Mormons to “own” their beliefs. It is OK to be heterodox. Just admit it. All in the name of truth in advertising.

that’s a dumb request.
Name a single religious faith that goes around saying “yeah, we are wrong.” Of course they dont.
Of course they own their beliefs, but on their terms. If you have an ounce of religious tolerance in you, you need to tolerate anothers sects ability to define who they are *themselves*. And if they think they are Christian under some definition that is *part* of their faith tradition/claim. you are free to disagree with their definition and say as much, but the idea that they have to *agree* with your view in order to be deemed ‘acceptable’ by you is, well, less than tolerant.
Listen to yourself it is your group who thinks they get to set the yardstick for the rest of the religions!
I grew up in a time back in the 40’s 50’s and 60’s each group the protestant, Lutheran and Catholic did not recognized each others baptism in those day this is just a recent phenomenon.
There was a time that in many religions did not go to each other house of worship for such affairs weddings and funerals.
Accually they did go but their was a lot of talk about entering another house.
To say other wise is to not tell the truth because I heard it discuessed (everytime such an event came up the topic got generated) in my house and neighborhood!
People ended up attending but not without rationalizing it with their conscience.
