To Catholics, Protestants are not Christians. To Protestants and Catholics, Mormons are not Christians. To some Protestants, Catholics are not Christians. To the Greek Orthodox.....must I continue? Yes, Christians can be bigots.
Except Catholics and Protestants agree on the Core doctrines and on the person work and nature of Christ.
Mormons do not on any of it.

The poor devils, they could not get up here and preach an oral discourse, to save themselves from hell; they are preaching their fathers’ sermons —preaching sermons that were written a hundred years before they were born. ...You may get a Methodist priest to pour water on you, or sprinkle it on you, and baptize you face foremost, or lay you down the other way, and whatever mode you please, and you will be damned with your priest.
