How is someone who claims to be Christian yet aggressively promotes abortion and "gay marriage" more Christian than a Mormon?

Mormon theology and worship practice isn’t compatible with traditional Christian theology. I get that. But there are many politicians who aggressively promote abortion and same-sex “marriage” as a “right” yet say they are Christian. And even on CA forums, if anyone even suggests to doubt whether or not a politician such as this is in fact truly a Christian their account can be suspended for being uncharitable. On this website it’s okay to explain why Mormons aren’t Christian even though I’m sure many of them think that they are and will tell people that they are Christian. There are even apologetics tracts here on Catholic Answers that explain why Mormons can’t be considered Christian, and apparently this isn’t considered uncharitable. So why does there seem to be more tolerance for one over the other?
 
Hi,

The fact that some people are pro-life does not make what they believe about God to be correct. When we say that Mormons are not Christians, we don’t mean that they do not act in a Christian way. Many do and undoubtedly are closer to God than many wayward Christians. We are saying that their understanding of the Trinity and Jesus is so defective, that it cannot be called Christian.
