They can be distinguished, by calling them members of the church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.

If you want to distinguish between Catholics and Baptists, you don’t refer to the Catholics as Christians.

You use your conclusion as its own support, but don’t show why it’s more correct or more acceptable than the position that members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, who are most commonly called Mormons, should not be distinguished from other groups by not using the term Mormon to describe the others. The practice of referring to the other groups as Mormons sows confusion.
