What makes you think that Mormons aren't Christians?

They have this part in their scripture where they say that all of Christianity's creeds and tenets are an abomination.

Mormons have their own book which is basically fan-fic of the bible and new testament. So it's kinda like if you met someone who calls themselves a Trekkie, but they've never seen any of the shows and have only read fan-fic. Would a Trekkie accept them as one of their own?

Mormons read the Bible. They'd be Trek super-fans who think their favorite fic-writer is better than Roddenberry, but they would have watched ToS and NG at least.

Source: raised cultist. Have a Mormon "quad" of all the holy texts somewhere in storage.

Are you saying that Mormons don't follow the Bible? Because that's simply not true. They added to it.

And how come the new testament isn't "fan fic" of the torah?

They're polytheistic for one, and think they can become their own god of a planet if they're 'good' enough.

That sounds kinda similar to catholic saints ...

Wait, I thought it was heaven, men’s heaven, men’s super heaven, and men’s super duper heaven. You’re telling me there’s a super *de duper heaven?

Kinda, this is for the super duper extra good double stampies no erasies Mormons. When they die, they get to super Saiyan transform into a god-heir right up there with Jesus and eventually get their own planet to rule over like their god rules here.

And I'm only being a little flippant, Exaltation is a wacky belief.

This is unequivocally blasphemy of the highest order. If more people knew about this, Mormons would be viewed nearly as strangely as jehova’s witnesses

Because they aren't.
