I am a Roman Catholic and growing up in the 50’s and 60’s I had many neighbor kids (Protestants... mainly Baptist) tell me and my siblings that we were NOT Christians because Catholics were heathens that worshiped saints like Cleopatra. Ignorance is bliss for some.
Um, the pope, THE POPE, the leader of the Roman Catholic Church said that Mormon’s are NOT Christians. I don’t know how much more plain that meaning can be!
But maybe you don’t really listen to the Pope. Maybe Catholics can do that now. Who knows.
I’ve had the same thing happen to me with Baptist Christians, but we must remember that only a fraction of Baptist Christians think this way about the Church. In my opinion the vast majority don’t and recognize Catholics as fellow Christians, no matter how grave the errors they think Catholics have with the faith.
It’s interesting to me that you don’t see any LDS posting garbage about Catholics on FR, but some other types of Christians seem to really get into it. LDS might actually believe such garbage, but they sure don’t seem to post the garbage to FR like some Christians do.

In the 19802 Mormon kids told my Christian children that they were going to Hell because they were not mormons...
In the 1980s Mormon kids would stand at the fence dividing our church fr54om the nmormon ward house and yell at my Christian children that they were going to Hell because they were not mormons...
The children were egged on by the mormon adults who used to laugh and taunt my little 3 year old girl when she would cry ...
Unfortunately that was the only way to get from the parking lot to the door...
When our pastor spoke to the mormon officials, he was mocked and maligned...

Wow, Saint Cleopatra...never heard of that one......Whenever I waqs challenged on Catholicism, I would ask who started your Lutheran denomination, who started your Methodist denomination, how about your Episcopal denomination......then I’d point out that Jesus founded the Catholic Church and no one could refute my statement!!!!
