Mormons believe in the resurrection, and salvation through Christ. They do not worship Satan.
I do not believe Mormon doctrine, and it's certainly cultish, but there's no need to exaggerate. I don't see how a bunch of extra goofy beliefs tacked on equals eternal damnation.
Any argument you could make, protestant vs. catholic (protestants being a satanic rejection of Catholicism, or Catholics themselves having fallen away from 'the true church' by virtue of Babylon's influence) can equally be made vs. Mormons and the LDS. You have to delve quite deep into the weeds to find a semblance of clarity.
Honestly, 'no true Scotsman' fallacies abound when you get into the differences between Christian sects (or try to find 'true' Christianity.) I think most dogma amounts to 'extra goofy beliefs tacked on,' and the essence of Christian spiritual practice is the same across sects. That said, the devil is in the details.
Definitions matter, Mormon Jesus is a different Jesus. Biblical Jesus of Christianity is God, Mormon Jesus is a created being, the half brother of Lucifer. Same goes with Jehovas Witness Jesus, which says Jesus is Michael the archangel.
These are not small differences, as Christianity centers on Christ; it's like changing the meat in a turkey sandwich to baloney and saying it's still a turkey sandwich.
Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven.
Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works?
And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you who practice lawlessness!’
Matthew 24:5
For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
If you think mormons are saved, you seriously need to think whether YOU are saved, lol.
Matthew 24:40
Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left.
If you read Gospels (and not some teachings of men), you'll see that Jesus preached constant vigilance. Yet here you all go "well, they're a bit silly and cultish, but it's fine". It's not, it's the worst kind of damnation.

It's basically just old-school religious dogma-arguments.
