Cult

Hi, My guess is that Cult doesn't have here its usual meaning, maybe worship?

Frequently Mormonism is labeled a cult rather than a church. Some say it is not Christian.

Well, you haven't told us what you think is its usual meaning, but here cult = a religion or sect considered to be false, unorthodox, or extremist, with members often living outside of conventional society under the direction of a charismatic leader.

I don't think church has other meaning, you see why is my confusion Mister? Trying to see why they wrote church near cult ...

I don't understand your problem. The statement says that it is considered a cult, not a church. A church is an accepted religion.

No, of course not. 'Church' is any generally accepted, uncontroversial religion.
