A topic for a whole 'nother thread! For God so loved the world, He gave His only begotten son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have everlasting life. So far as I know, Mormons aknowledge Christ as Savior; and the scripture does not add "unless they have some strange side beliefs".
But then, there are some fundamenalist Christian sects who claim that Catholics are not really Christians either.

Yes, it is a topic for another thread ... but ... when you claim John 3:16 and elevate contrary teachings and propagade false teachings, that makes their claim less valid.
Ah, “unless they have some strange side beliefs” ... apparently you are not Bible based. Those “strange belifs” are what make it false teachings. They are there to DISTRACT you away from Christ. There is nothing new about this. Paul wrote about it all the time in the Bible.
“But then, there are some fundamenalist Christian sects who claim that Catholics are not really Christians either.”
I have no doubt many Catholics have a personal relationship with Christ. Elevating Mary as co-redeemer is flat out wrong. Praying to Mary is flat out wrong. I let Christ decide on how He wants to deal with that and a few other things.
OTOH, Mormomisnm is not Christian no matter how you cut it. Sure they “value” the Bible but it is teachings of OTHERS that pull them away from Christ.
