My family and I converted to Mormonism when I was around eight or so, and I was baptized that following year as a member of the LDS Church. In Sunday school, I was taught about Jesus Christ, God, the Gospels as well as the Book of Mormon, and generally about the religion. It is somewhat hazy, because I was so young and ended up leaving the Church a short time later, but during that time, I was taught that Mormons were Christians. That is an understanding I still have today.
But what does everyone else believe? Are Mormons, by any stretch of the term, Christian? If so, why? If not, why not?

Hmmmmm. Do they call themselves Christian?
Do they recognize Christ?
Pretty easy answer for me.

I'm afraid it's far, far, far more complicated then that. To be a Christian, you have to recognize the authority of the ecumenical councils, obey and believe church theological doctrine dating back centuries as started by the apostles themselves, agnowledge the sole legitimate authority of the holy gospels, follow the Nicene creed, etc. the list goes on and on...
The way you put it is, no offense, a blatantly gross over-simplification of one of the world's oldest and largest moral codes, theological ideologies, and belief systems.
One of the biggest problems with the heresy of mormonism is that it places too much emphasis on the book of mormon, a text with little to no connection to the original ancient gospels themselves, and never mentioned in any of the ecumenical councils or by the apostles.
Make no mistake, in due time the enemies of the original gospel shall melt like wax before the fire...

So, according to you, nobody except Catholics is actually Christian?

Eastern Orthodoxy is the one true church set up by the apostles themselves, the catholic church is close, but not entirely correct in it's theology (being a more reformed off-sect, if you will, mind you with a ecclesiastical structure even I can appreciate), and the hundreds of protestant sects are little more then modern day gnosticism.
