Usage & Nuances
'Mormon' is capitalized and most often refers to a person. Some members prefer to be called 'Latter-day Saints' to reflect their official church name. Used in both formal and informal contexts, but be respectful—avoid using 'Mormon' as a label for unrelated groups or as an adjective in nonreligious contexts.
