The expression is true, assuming the person who said it has a correct understanding of what each of those words means. Or, more precisely: the statement is true, if the three creeds (Apostles, Nicene, Athanasian) are used to define all the terms.
I am sorry to say that your preachers, pastors and other Christian leaders are just deceivers, because when we see them on TV or at their Churches saying loudly "accept Jesus and you will be save" they don't go on saying "ASSUMING YOU HAVE A CORRECT UNDERSTANDING OF WHAT EACH WORD MEANS"... no they don't say that, they just promise eternal salvation for whoever accept Jesus as Lord and Savior, and this is exactly what Mormons believes in.
In regards to the protestant, they've omitted 7 whole books from the 'book of God' claiming that they are coming from a doubtful authority, could you please tell me if they are "TRUE CHRISTIANS"?
In regards to the Catholics, they've created images of Jesus, Mary and Joseph the carpenter, and going straight against the one of the 10 commandments by bowing down to them, but yet you can't call them NOT CHRISTANS, because you have got your OWN interpretation to defend you faith.
And so the Mormons, Jehovah's witnesses, etc... each of them have got the conviction that they are on the right path and following the guidance of the same HOLY GHOST, then tell me Reep, how can I as a Muslim determine which group is really saved?
