13. The members of the Mormon Church consider themselves Christians. . .

. . . As do Jehovah's Witnesses.

Granted those two groups are generally regarded as extreme outliers within the worldwide community of those who identify as Christians. JWs reject the notion of Jesus as divine and Mormons, of course, regard the Book of Mormon as divinely inspired scripture, in direct contradiction of Revelation 22:18, which to the vast majority of Christians is an injunction against considering any further divine communication as legitimate or having equal weight with the OT and NT.
