So let me see if I am getting this right here. They are Saints now and later they will be Gods? Does that mean that we are sinners in the eyes of the Mormon? Hmm...they need a good helping of Cheese and Rice!

This is a curiosity of pre-supposition: there are 'saints' and there are 'sinners' - this presumes the two groups to be opposite in the nature.
Yet, the above posts suggests that people who believe in Christ are saints, but are also sinners, thus blurring the previous concept.
That how mormonism and christianity is justified: add three parts fantasy, let logic rise and remove quickly, then half-bake. Serve without questioning.

I am a latter day saint, though not part of the Mormon church (I belong to the Reorganized Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints), and I can tell you that we do not consider you to be any more a sinner than me/us just by virtue of not being part of our church. And I'm fairly certain a Mormon would tell you the same thing (at least the ones I know).

You need to read your Bible more. Believers in the Bible referred to themselves as Saints. But, everyone is a sinner. Being one does not preclude being the other. You are thinking of the Roman Catholic version of a saint, and we are thinking of the Biblical references to the saints.

A saint is a believer in Christ. Note that most of the Pauline epistles are addressed to the "saints" in such-and-such a city.
Just because we call ourselves saints doesn't mean that we believe that no one else is.

I don't know... what their exact doctrine is...
However everyone who accepts Jesus is a saint...
Because accepting Jesus transforms us from sinners to saints...
