However, if you are asking can non-catholic parents have their child baptized Catholic the answer is generally no. One of the elements of Baptism of infants is that parents and the congregation agree to stand witness and to help the child grow in the faith of the Church. If the parents are non-catholic this would be almost impossible.
The Roman Catholic Church would recommend that the parents also undergo the Rite of Christian Initiation and then the whole family could be baptized.

∙ 13y agoGenerally the answer would be yes. The Church must be assured that the child will be raised as a Catholic. There are certain circumstances where it might be allowed. Suppose both parents, or even one parent, is undergoing the long process of becoming a Catholic (RCIA), an exception might be made. However, it is up to the local pastor or bishop to make that decision.

I'm afraid not. The Catholic church will consider the baby as a 'Christian' and not a 'Roman Catholic' since they were baptized. It's a valid sacrament in the eyes of the Catholic Church.
