Yes In Australia you would not still be considered Catholic, as long as you underwent some Lutheran instruction by the Pastor. You would not be permitted to become a member of a Lutheran church if you did not acknowledge and accept the creeds of the Lutheran church publicly, i.e. in front of the congregation which you wished to join.

∙ 15y agoYes. Jesus said, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to the whole creation. He who believes and is baptized will be saved." (Mark 16:15-16) The Catholic Church believes that you can only be saved once and therefore should only be baptized once. The Nicene Creed states, "We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins." The Catholic Church recognizes the baptism of anyone who was baptized with water and the words, "[Name], I baptize you in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit."
