I was born and raised in the Mormon church in Salt Lake City. I have never once heard a Mormon refer to being "saved" as Mormons do not believe in achieving eternal salvation by simply claiming Christ as their savior.

I was always a Christian and had a testimony of Jesus Christ. My LDS conversion came about because of an anti-mormon. Before I ever set foot in the church, I met an anti-mormon in an unexpected remote location. When the conversation starts "you're not a Mormon, are you?", watch out. His point was to prove Joseph Smith was an imposter by claiming his scribe, figured this out and turned against him. I built my understanding of the church on this flimsy foundation. When I found out the facts for myself and the story of the three witnesses, I had to reassess everything. I attended church and each week I learned more about Bible than I ever had in a Protestant chuch. Eventually I had a testimony of the restoration of the gospel and joined the church. All thanks to an uniformed bigot.
Its 12:52.

It's 11:30 a.m. my time, mountain standard...
I am a Mormon. We believe differently in "salvation" than most Christians...we believe it is a future event and most likely not one that will be obtained during this life.
In your terms of being saved, then yes, I was saved the day I was baptized. I made a covenant with my Heavenly Father to always remember his Son, Jesus Christ, to take his name upon me. I made a covenant to live the best life I could, to keep the commandments and to be as Christ-like as I can. I was cleansed and made clean from my baptism.
But I, along with every other person on this earth, am not perfect. I sin. That is why I repent, that is the purpose of the Atonement...so we can repent of our sins, forsake them, and God will remember them "no more". I partake of the sacrament every week at church and renew my baptismal covenants. We need constant gospel nourishment...
I have made more covenants in the Lord's holy house, the temple. If I remain faithful to my covenants I will be able to gain exaltaion in my Father's Kingdom, the Celestial, and gain all that He has. He has promised us this blessing and more if we will do what He asks.

because rejection is the hardest Emotion to address. adult adult males can get extremely violent, females can flow off into the deep end! It hurts a lot, and diverse this stuff make you freeze up interior because you purely don't have the arrogance it takes to confront your human being emotions up the front and own. you're baring your soul to this man or woman and letting your self in for a painful journey, probably? I mean what are you settling for? a minimum of now you get to envision with him yet ought to you nonetheless verify with him if he rejects you? And immediately that feeling of attending to envision with him feels extremely solid, or perhaps that regardless of the reality that extremely small at the same time as taken away will harm a lot. So both tell him promptly out, or write him a short letter and then get his answer and understand once and for all, or purely settle for being friends and get well from it, extremely in case you imagine that is one sided. ask your self what has he quite finished to make you sense that he feels a similar as you do? reality time is a daunting time, yet I continuously discover that is better effective to gently flow in and say the way you sense and gently watch for his reply. If he says convinced, you flow from there. yet when he delays or stalls or says out proper NO, then ask no matter if that is okay for you 2 to proceed to be friends? a minimum of from this element you may flow on. immediately all you're doing is pushing aside the reality.

MOrmons don't get saved.
They reach Godhood(become gods themselves).
that is blasphemy to the christian. God is god. No man except Jesus can call himself God.
Mormons are a cult
if you (mormons) believe the black man is souls undecided in the war before coming to earth, that is dumb.
