LDS Church members are usually considered either:
- "Active", meaning they attend church on a regular basis and are committed to living their religion,
- "Less-active" meaning they attend church on an occasional basis and may or may not be committed to living their religion or
- "Inactive", meaning they do not attend church regularly and/or they do not adhere to its principles.
