Do Mormons go to hell? If so, why?*
Yes, they do.
Because everyone goes to hell.
Why?
Because hell is the grave.
Here's the definition of the word that gets translated as "hell" most often.
---07585 sh@'owl {sheh-ole'} or sh@ol {sheh-ole'}
.....from 07592; TWOT - 2303c; n f
.....AV - grave 31, hell 31, pit 3; 65
.....1) sheol, underworld, grave, hell, pit
..... 1a) the underworld
..... 1b) Sheol - the OT designation for the abode of the dead---
Therefore, it is no biggie.

Most Christians can't even agree on what exactly Hell is, so there will be no consences.*
Well, YOU can't agree on what it is.
*In any circumstance I find it impossible to say that any one group as a whole would go to Hell regardless of it's definition.*
Well, there is that one group, the dead.

According to Christian doctrine, everyone who has not been saved (the act of becoming a member of a very specific brand of Christianity) will go to hell.*
That's the popular version.
According to the Bible, everyone who dies ends up in hell, i.e. the grave.
*Hell, being a means of controlling the masses is reserved for all non-believers.*
Hell, being the grave, is reserved for the DEAD.
*To the Christians it exists, even with the utter lack of evidence for it.*
There is plenty of evidence for hell, i.e. the grave.
Just walk past a cemetery.
You'll see lots of graves.

According to the Bible, the only way to go to Heaven is to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Saviour. If you don't, you go to Hell *
The Bible says nothing like that.
First of all, we believers will be on earth.
And I saw the Holy City, Jerusalem, descending new out of Heaven from God, like a bride adorned in readiness for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne, which said--'See! the Tabernacle of God is set up among men. God will dwell among them, and they will be his Peoples, and God himself will be among them,
(Revelation 21:2,3, TCNT).
Hell will be gone.
And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.
And whosoever was not found written in the book of life was cast into the lake of fire.
(Revelation 20:14,15, KJV).

if mormons are considered "saved"*
They aren't considered "saved."
The only people who are saved are the ones who do this...
For, if with your lips you acknowledge the truth of the Message that JESUS IS LORD, and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you shall be saved.
For with their hearts men believe and so attain to righteousness, while with their lips they make their Profession of Faith and so find Salvation.
(Romans 10:9,10, TCNT).

I do not need to be saved from anything.*
You need to be saved from thinking that.
