"Mormon" is a nickname for a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. The nickname was given to Church members by their enemies, intended to mock them for their belief in the Book of Mormon. It was taken offensively in the late 1800's and early 1900's, but is now accepted by the majority of Church members. "Mormons" consider themselves as Christians, but not as Protestant or Catholic. The believe that Jesus Christ is their personal Savior, but also have many doctrines which can be contrasted with traditional Christian Churches. These include:
Belief that God the Father, Christ the Son, and the Holy Spirit are three separate beings united in purpose.
Use of the Book of Mormon and Doctrine and Covenants as the Word of God, in addition to The Bible.
Belief in modern Prophets and Apostles who continue to receive revelation from God.
Belief that through 'baptisms for the dead', a Church member may be baptized by proxy for a dead ancestor. The ancestor will then have the opportunity to accept or reject that baptism before judgment.
Belief that families can be 'sealed' together for eternity in temples.
Adherance to a health and moral code, including no alcohol, tobacco, tea, coffee, pornography, pre-marital sex, or homosexual activity. Church members also strive to dress modestly.

The way they interpret the Bible, what they believe about who Jesus Christ is, and they way they worship, are completely different from each other.
