I don’t think christians consider mormons to be christian. They’re non-trinitarian if I’m not mistaken, and that’s a doctrinal disqualification by definition for most ecumenical traditions.
“No, my interpretation of scripture and tradition is the only one that’s valid; and the God of all the Universe who existed before time, language, and culture is going to be verrryy angry at anyone who doesn’t unquestioningly believe and obey everything that I say that God says!”
-Most Christian denominations, and most Abrahamic religions, for that matter.
If only one can be right, you might as well hedge your bets with Eastern Orthodox because they’re closest to the original. They also tend to be a bit more enlightened about multiculturalism, tolerance, and love for humanity.

As someone who was raised Mormon, the trinity was very much a thing. They don’t call it the trinity, but god the father, Jesus the son and the holy spirit were all big in that cult.

Correct: Mormons consider themselves as Christian while mainstream Christianity considers Mormonism a cult.
Of course so many divisions are like that - Catholicism considers Protestant denominations as not valid, and vice versa, etc.
