“However, any way we want to split theological hairs, Mormons aren’t Christian. No way. No how.”
I would say it more cautiously, that the LDS is not a Christian organization, and that the god of LDS theology is not the God of Christianity, or of Jesus Christ.
Catholics believe in baptism of desire, including implicit baptism of desire, and it is beyond my capacity to read the hearts of individual members of the LDS to know whether or not this has happened.
I will say that members of the LDS who have never been baptized in a Christian community are not formally incorporated into the Body of Christ through baptism, and thus are not formally Christians.

Any idea when the theory of the “baptism of desire” arose in the RC Church?
Well...
...they ARE partially Christian:
Christian-wannabees!
