Thank you for the lecture on a subject I am already familiar with. When you’re ready to actually engage the subject I addressed please let me know.

    I think I understand your point and the pseudoChristian cults are problematic.
  1. I meant to include Mormons as I did. I could not add them to the official nonChristian list, and neither can I add them to a Christian list with separated brethren. as they are certainly no longer Protestants; pseudoChristian seems to fit. There are other modern pseudo Christian cults that devolved from Protestantism. They look back to Abraham too, although in serious error. They cannot be called Christian, and to call them nonChristian doesn't fit with their origin either; neither does postChristian.
  2. I am not bigoted against Mormons. I don't hate them. I don't demonize them. I don't assign perjoratives to mock them. They are very unlikely to enter a Catholic parish church with bullhorns screaming at the parishioners in prayer that they are going to hell because they worship and adore a false god.
  3. The issue in baptism is the formula and intent of the baptizer, so your example of an athiest is also problematic. A Mormon who does not properly believe in the Holy Trinity even as he invokes the right words. The baptizer must have the intention of doing what the one holy catholic apostolic church does when it confers baptism.

That's a reasonable appeal but it won't work.
