In agreement with what has been said, let me make a few points.
First: When the Holy Spirit is with us, we are cleansed from our sin. This is what the Holy Spirit does, and it cannot dwell in an unclean temple. That is why it comes and goes depending on our righteousness. The more we have it in our lives, the more sanctified we become and the more worthy of its presence. Non-members feel this cleansing when they are taught by the Spirit. This is part of the true conversion process.
Second: At some point in our spiritual progression, we come to realize that the LDS Church, with its outward ordinances, fills an important roll in bringing mankind unto Christ. But we eventually realize that once it brings us unto Christ, out of the Telestial life and out of the Terrestrial life, it has fulfilled its mission. It is not designed to aid us much after we have received the 2nd Comforter. It has fulfilled its mission (to bring all men unto Christ), using outward ordinances to help change the inward man, until he comes unto Christ.
Third: I am confident that the LDS Church has the fastest, most concise and understandable path to the 2nd Comforter, because of the Book of Mormon and the endowment-both of which are quite specific on how one can enter into the presence of Christ.
