I think as a general rule acceptance of the Nicene creed is the litmus test for the Christian faith. The Nicene creed does recognize the Trinity doctrine. Baptists are non creedal but, basically believe the doctrines identified within the Nicene creed.
Mormons have their own creed which doesn't recognize the Trinity. Historically they didn't call themselves Christians because they seen Christians to have a polluted faith;one which was corrupted over time. It has only been in the last twenty years that Mormons have taken up the title "Christian".
Having said that I'm not offended if they do.
