What was the nature of Moroni after he died as a human being, did he become an angel?

In [this short background information](https://newsroom.churchofjesuschrist.org/article/book-of-mormon) of The Book of Mormon, we learn that Moroni was the son of the American prophet Mormon, who must have died as a human being. But then the article said: > Latter-day Saints believe that it was to this hillside, today called the Hill Cumorah, near Palmyra, New York, that **Moroni returned in 1823 as an angel to lead the teenage boy Joseph Smith to the hidden plates**. Joseph Smith later founded The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. In mainstream Christianity, a human being will be given a glorified body after the general resurrection, retaining his/her bodily nature, never becoming an angel who is always 100% spirit. Before general resurrection, for denominations that believe in the conscious intermediate state, the souls of those who passed away would NOT have a body and God would not have permitted these body-less souls to appear to the living. God would have sent an angel instead who has always been spiritual, only that God would give this angel a temporary bodily appearance so humans can see this angel. **How does human being Moroni re-appearing as an angel explained by LDS in light of the normal progression of the human being's journey after death?** 1. Was Moroni's human nature changed into an angel? 1. Was the term "angel" to describe Moroni not precise, i.e. it was Moroni in his glorified body (like Jesus after resurrection) appearing to Joseph Smith as like an angel? 1. Or was it a special act of God that Moroni's consciousness (which God maintains prior to his eventual resurrection along with everyone else) was given a temporary angelic nature for the purpose of his mission in 1823? That once that mission was completed God change him back into a non-resurrected human being after his mission? Pardon my ignorance: - I know very little of the LDS "anthropology" of post-mortem nature of human being and of how LDS understand the angelic nature. For example, do we become angels? What IS an angel; is an angel 100% spiritual like what mainstream Christianity teaches? - And I don't know the "standard timeline" either (i.e. whether a human being is resurrected right after dying rather than waiting along with the rest of humanity). My question is primarily about whether the Moroni's case is unique or typical when compared to the normal progression of a human being's life after death.
