No you seem to be trying to avoid the primary discussion of whether Mormonism is Christian by wanting to get personal in interrogation of posters. I’m not here to get into a personal theological discussion but to point out what the larger view is.

Here is something the Greek Orthodox say about cults.

“The prevailing doctrine of past and present cults is the gnostic or secret knowledge to attain salvation or perfection that they alone possess. This is evident in early Gnosticism as well as in the nineteenth-century cults such as Mormonism, Christian Science, Jehovah’s Witnesses, spiritualism, theosophy, and many more. Several of these cults offer “special welfare” services to promote good will and enable them to further their propaganda. Examples of such activities include the Mormon Tabernacle Choir, The Christian Science Monitor, and the Battle Creek Sanitarium of the Seventh Day Adventists. [4] Through these philanthropic activities, they appear to be harmless to people in order to promote their religious propaganda.”

You have plenty of capacity and desire to post the opinions of others, but not your own.
