No. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) is not looking for people's money. Paying money to the church is not required of members, although members are encouraged to follow the Biblical practice of paying a tithe (10%). The Mormon church, like most every faith group, is a non-profit organization that operates entirely on donations, so of course they appreciate money donations. However, their main focus is not collecting money but spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ.
You are thinking of Indulgences. They have been sold during a few different periods when the Catholic Church wanted money.
A true Christian is usually called a Protestant. So a Christian church would be called a Protestant church.
The church collects money from its members, called "tithing." It is 10% of everyone's income, but it is completely voluntary. As for what they own, they own thousands of church meetinghouses, several charity farms and food production plants, humanitarian storehouses, three universities, and hundreds of employment centers and family counseling service centers.
