Because they must not be saved ,if you know Jesus died for our sins and shed his blood for all of us and arose on the third day , then you know you are a christian and are saved by the grace of God. A cult is the devil and worships the devil and will go to hell

For the same reason they do the same to Islam
In religion and sociology, a cult is a cohesive group of people (often a relatively small and recently founded religious movement) devoted to beliefs or practices that the surrounding culture or society considers to be far outside the mainstream. Its separate status may come about either due to its novel belief system, because of its idiosyncratic practices or because it opposes the interests of the mainstream culture. Other non-religious groups may also display cult-like characteristics.
In the English-speaking countries since about the 1960s, especially in North America, the term cult has taken on a pejorative and sometimes offensive connotation. This largely originated with highly publicized cults that purportedly exploited their members psychologically and financially, or that allegedly utilized group-based persuasion and conversion techniques. These techniques may include "brainwashing", "mind control" ("thought reform") and "love bombing", whose scientific validity, modern and historical use, and effectiveness (for religious conversion) are discussed within the linked articles.

Some so called christian religions or dominations are cults. A cult is a religion that tries to place a barrier between the lost human and God. Jesus cleared that way for us 2000 years ago. Most conservative Christian Apologist would call these churches cults: Catholic, Mormon( LDS, RLDS), Jehovah's Witness, and many of the hundreds of Pentecostal/Charismatic churches. These are called Pseudo-Christian cults because they do seem christian, but they do not follow the Bible or place Christ as the head of the church.

It is not just Christians but many different types of religious groups that are considered a cult. Part of it is some of the things that members do.
They have services about life and death with lots of symbolism and statues. People go to church and pray to a statue, but the bible says make no thing on earth that is in heaven.
They go around the world recruiting members. If God was so knowing all powerful, and the only God, you would not need to walk around telling people about him, they would know. But instead Christians go to remote places to introduce God to people who did not need him before they came.
There is a confusion about when you die, some say go to heaven, others say come back to life. Pick just one.

True Christians support the word of God, not the world. the world labels us as "cults" because we go opposite of what they do.
Look at most so called "christian"denominations,the world does not hate them though they carry the name "christians" because some of the churches are still world like, but as for the congr I go to the Jehovah's Witnesses, we are labled that because we follow Jehovahs word, not the world view that is why they do not understand us, but according to the bible we are following Gods word, not the world.

because of the change that occurs in people after they are saved, some people that are not saved, or have never felt near to God do not understand that change.

those people need to rationalize why their ego's won't allow them to worship something that requires delayed gratification.
