Best Answer

Those who are in the process of converting or who have expressed interest in converting to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) are called 'Investigators' because they are investigating or looking into joining the Church.

Mormons would not say that they are 'trying to convert' anyone, because conversion is regarded as a deeply personal experience that cannot be forced or brought about by another person's actions. Mormons believe that their responsibility is simply to share their beliefs with anyone who shows interest and allow that individual's personal testimony or conversion to come about at it's own pace.

What do Mormons call non Mormons?

Most Mormons are not mean in calling non Mormons names. When referring to non Mormons, they are usually called non members. It's not to offend people, it's just when you're classifying all non Mormons, you have to say something. Former Church President Gordon B. Hinckley suggested called non Mormons "Friends of other faiths" as a kinder-sounding term, but it didn't really catch on. ^^Good answer. When referring to someone who is not a member of the church we call them non members. If they are a member but hardly ever go we just call them inactive. Its not in anyway to offend anyone.

Are there apostles around now?

The Church of the Latter Day Saints (Mormons) have people they call "apostles". Other movements may similarly call someone that is still living an "apostle". You'll have to decide for yourself whether such people have any relationship with the apostles that followed Jesus Christ about 2000 years ago - if that's what you are after.
