No. Orthodox refers to members of Greek Orthodox, Russian Orthodox, and similar churches. These are very old traditional churches usually based in the central Europe area. Mormons are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, a religion that is only 150 years old and based in the United States. Both churches are branches of Christianity, but they do not have identical beliefs and practices.Orthodox can also be used to describe a person's level of commitment to their faith. If someone is an "orthodox Mormon" for instance, this means that they are very conservative and exact in their religious practice.

It depends on which 'Orthodox' you are referring to. "Orthodox" simply means someone who is very strict in their religious observance. There are 'orthodox' in almost every religious group.
