Romney's careful - and lengthy - response to the question never mentioned Mormonism.

clip Mitt Romney, one of two Mormon candidates in the Republican presidential field, was pressed about his faith by a woman who attended his veteran's event here.
He was asked to expand on his faith by a woman who asked him: "Do you believe in the divine saving grace of Jesus Christ?"
"Yes, I do," Romney responded. "I would hope that there are people in our nation that have different beliefs. There are people of the Jewish faith and the Islamic faith and other faiths who believe other things, and our president will be president of the people of all faiths," he said.
"We welcome people of other faiths. I happen to believe that Jesus Christ is the sone of God and my savior, but I know other people have differing views and I respect those views,and I don't believe those qualify or disqualify people for leadership in our nation," he said.
