Not in the least.

 RS> This is a group that considers themselves to be "true Christians."

Hatred is *NOT* part of Christ's teachings, so their claim is moot.

 RS> Hence their condemning as "cults" anyone else, Catholics,
Mormons, etc.

So what? They can have their beliefs. There is no law against differing beliefs.
