I fail to see why any creed would be a prerequisite for being considered a Christian. All these creeds were determined by groups of humans trying to resolve theological questions.
I think a better starting point in defining who is a Christian would be those that follow Jesus, seeking to live a Christ like life, knowing Jesus is the son of God and through him alone salvation is found.

"knowing Jesus is the son of God and through him alone salvation is found." Correct. Let us now define "God." Upon what foundation will you build this temple?
Christians will tell you the Father is the same God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.
Mormons will tell you the Father was just some dude who got things right.
So, if the Father of Mormonism and Judeo-Christian are different, so is the Son.
Mormons do not believe in the Christian Christ.

Everyone is creedal whether they admit it or not. The only difference appears to be the source of your creed.
