148. Christians consider Mormons to be a cult.
Mormons on the other hand think they are the only true expression of Christ's doctrine AND Catholics had that button holed long before (let it go after Vatican II in 1962 - we actually had a lot of non-denominational cooperation going on with other churches for many years ) then the Catholic church took "only Catholics in Heaven" back into doctrine sometime in the 1990's.
