	Many Christian groups do not consider The Church of Jesus Christ
of Latter Day Saints to be Christian.  Therefore, it is not rhetorically
incorrect to say Mormons are not Christian.

	I'm familiar with the convention, but I'm not too keen on the
exact reasons behind it, though I suppose I could find out if someone
really really needed to know (currently, supper starts in a half hour,
so I'm not taking the research time).
