I didn't ask how to become a Mormon. I asked if belief in the ressurection made one a Christian. There's an order to when you come to believe in the ressurection?

No. Demons know Jesus was resurrected and the Son of God. Doesn’t make them Christians.
Since you've clarified your statement, let me try to answer it.
No.
Lots of folks witnessed the results of the 'resurrection' and they 'believed' that it had occured; but that did NOT make them a 'believer' in Jesus and what HE was offering to them.
Two fellows actually MET Jesus as they walked along the road to Manaus (sp?) and failed to realize it at the time. They told others, some who 'believed' and some who didn't. One fellow (you might have heard of him: Tom, one of the disicples) went so far to exclaim that unless HE, personally, encountered this Jesus the others spoke about, he was NOT going to believe.
When Jesus appeared to them all, Tom was encouraged to touch HIM.
Ah; you believe at last! You believe because you have seen; blessed are those who will believe that have NOT seen. (or something like this - look it up around John 20:29)
The question of the resurrection was put to the apostle Paul, and he wrote the following:
1 Corinthians 151 Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. 2 By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
3 For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, 4 that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, 5 and that he appeared to Cephas, and then to the Twelve. 6 After that, he appeared to more than five hundred of the brothers and sisters at the same time, most of whom are still living, though some have fallen asleep. 7 Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles, 8 and last of all he appeared to me also, as to one abnormally born.
9 For I am the least of the apostles and do not even deserve to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and his grace to me was not without effect. No, I worked harder than all of themyet not I, but the grace of God that was with me. 11 Whether, then, it is I or they, this is what we preach, and this is what you believed.
(Get out your bible and read the REST of the story, found in First Corinthians, chapter 15. You'll find the verse that MORMONism uses to 'justify' it's "baptism for the dead" ritual that pops up in these threads all of the time.)
