They left their Protestant roots behind and went off on their own in the 1800's.
Why are Mormons by definition a cult any more than Southern Baptists, Coptics or the Greek Orthodox?

But as stated before...not all Christians believe in the holly trinity....they're usually called Protestants.

When the Protestant Reform occured...along with a number of other Roman Church ideals.... the trinity was rejected.

I think you understood that concept wrong. Martin Luther (the father of Protestantism) very much believed in the trinity, as to most Christian sects, and especially the fundamentalist ones.

The link to wikipedia does not refute that at all; it just states there are some sects that call themselves Christian who do. Most evangelicals and fundamentalists would argue that the concept of the Trinity is key to being a Christian.
