 | | The hyphenated term Latter-day Saint is used to refer specifically to members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, the largest LDS organisation. |
 | | Latter Day Saints trace their religious heritage through Joseph Smith, Jr, who claimed to have restored the original "Church of Christ", which, he asserted, had disappeared from the earth after a period of apostasy. |
 | | The term Mormon is correctly applied only to Latter-day Saints, and even that appellation is discouraged by leaders of that sect, who ask instead that the term "Saints" be applied to members of the sect, and that the shorter "Church of Jesus Christ" be used on second reference to the church. |
