Nah, Mormons absolutely consider themselves Christian. They use the term in meetings and I’m sure that I’ve seen it in their marketing material as well. They just you know, retconned Christianity to say that they were the true Christians the whole time, that the other sects mostly have their hearts in the right place but we have the only true prophet. And tbf, that’s true for all the Christian sects, the only difference really is scale.
Not to belabor a point, but even if they consider themselves Christian, there’s a big difference between having different interpretations of the same book and having a whole ass other previously non-existent book that becomes part of the religious canon. Off the top of my head, I can’t think of any sects of Protestant Christianity that have a whole ass other book. They have wildly different interpretations of the same book, but that is fundamentally different than having a new prophet and gospel.
I get your point here, but just because they’re unique doesn’t disqualify them from their claim to Christianity. It’s kinda like saying a tank isn’t a motor-vehicle because it has a cannon.
