I agree that Mormonism belongs to a branch of Christianity distinct from Protestantism, Catholicism, and Orthodoxy, but I don't consider it popular or historically significant enough to warrant being a branch unto itself. Instead, I'd lump it, along with sects such as Christian Science and Jehovah's Witnesses, under the umbrella branch "Primitivism" or "Restorationism".

"Restorationism" doesn't work, that refers to a distinct grouping of Protestant churches itself.

And "Christian primitivism" refers to the nondenominational attempt to return to the beliefs and practices of the early church. However, no other terms really recommend themselves. Perhaps "Christian Science Fiction"?
