No - JWs do not believe that Christ was the Son of God. Mormons believe that the kind of life that you've chosen to live will determine whether you will be placed in one of four distinct afterlives: Celestial, Terrestial, Telestial, Outer Darkness. Neither would agree with that statement. They are not Christians.

The following is precisely what each Catholic believes:

I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.

Note the small 'c' in catholic - meaning "universal", not Rome.

Also note this: "He will come again to judge the living and the dead" Jesus will judge, not Rome.

You really shouldn't argue about JW's or Mormons, I do know whereof I speak. They both certainly would agree with the words you wrote. It is what they would MEAN by that agreement, what content they would import into (or from) the words, that is the problem.

As with Romanism.

You cite a creed with which all Christians would agree, and some non-Christians, in the same manner discussed above.

But you still didn't answer my questions.
