Latter-day Saint
Utah church follower
A Latter-day Saint is a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the religious movement founded by Joseph Smith in 1830.
The term distinguishes modern adherents from the saints of biblical times.
Latter-day Saint is the preferred formal designation; Mormon remains common informally but is discouraged by the church: She was raised as a Latter-day Saint.
