Naming convention for LDS scripture

There was an error rendering this rich post.

I have reason to quote Book of Moses from the Pearl of Great Price. I need to explain that the Pearl of Great Price is part of LDS scripture. However, I discovered that despite knowing the four books that comprise LDS Scripture, I don't know the name used by LDS to refer to the whole collection - not what people on the outside call the collection but what members of the LDS call it. Thanks in advance.

No name for the 4-part canon. Casually, “The scriptures” or “ the standard works, or, since all four got printed/bound together in 1982, “the quad” :) But the quad is really more your paper scriptures than the canon.

Thank you, I think I'll call them LDS Standard Works (Scripture) and trust people will understand with no one being insulted.
