    My understanding is that it isn’t considered Christian if it doesn’t accept the Trinity. JW and LDS are considered Abrahamic but not Christian per se.

      That’s a definition understood by nicean christians as the nicean creed was basically developed in a trial to say who is and isn’t christian and exile the not christians who wouldn’t cooperate

      Academically I don’t think there is universal agreement on if that standard should be taken at face value.

      Considered…by whom? Not by them, I bet. I’ll bet JW and LDS do consider themselves Christian.

      The only ‘prerequisites’ for being considered Christian is that you believe in Jesus’s existence, and his divinity. Hence the “Christ” in “Christian”.
