The Nicene Creed is about 300 years younger than Christianity. Of course Mormonism is Christian - it's right there in the name: "the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints". They regard Jesus as "Christ" - anointed by God. Specifically, they regard him as the son of God, and believe he was resurrected.

If it's the Trinity you think is a vital part of Christianity, then it isn't. The concept of God being a Trinity gradually appears in mainstream Christianity from over a hundred years after the crucifixion until the Nicene Creed says "believe it, or you're an enemy of Real Christianity™". And this sect's Roman emperors won the political battle, so that was mainstream Christianity fixed.
