The definition of a religious sect is: 'a subdivision of a larger religious group.'

Which Christian church came first? The Roman Catholic Church was the first Christian Church and today it is the largest with 1.1 billion members. Therefore every Christian denomination by definition is a subdivision or SECT of the Roman Catholic Church.

Now we come to the question. "Is Mormonism considered a sect?" It may be considered a sect by uneducated people, but Mormonism by definition it is not a SECT. The LDS Church (Mormonism) does not claim its roots as a break away or subdivision of the Roman Catholic Church or any other church. The LDS Church (Mormonism) has its roots as a independent Christian Church. Therefore Mormonism is NOT a Sect.
