Latter-day Saints
Salt Lake believers
Latter-day Saints are members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, commonly called Mormons.
The term distinguishes modern followers from the saints of biblical times.
The Latter-day Saints sent missionaries to our neighborhood.
Members often prefer this term to Mormon, though both remain in wide use.
