The Book of Mormon doesn't talk about pre-mortality any more than the Bible does.
Yet, manuals such as "Gospel Principles" use pre-mortality as setting the stage for "Agency" and the need of the Atonement?
So is pre-mortality part of the gospel? If it is a "plain a precious truth" lost from the gospel, why isn't it talk about more in the Book of Mormon?
One thing I realize I forget is that pre-mortality is not a generally shared belief among Christians - if at all. It is, however, (based on Google search results) more closely associated with Buddism.
Would you call "Buddism" Christianity? If not, then maybe one can begin to understand why Christians don't include "Mormonism" in Christianity.
As a Mormon, I affirm Mormons look to Jesus Christ as their Savior, we believe he died, paid for our sins, and was resurrected in the flesh - in that way, we are Christian, according to the Biblical standard in John 4:2-3.
