Catholics are Christians. Your question is probably implicitly, "Was Paul a Catholic or another type of Christian?"
That would depend on who you ask. Catholics consider the Catholic Church as the institution founded by Christ, and thus every Christian recognized by the Church as a Christian is a Catholic. In modern times, where Christian denominations exist, it would be asserted by these denominations that the Catholic Church began at such a time or at such and such an event, usually sometime in the 4th or 10th century, depending on what source is consulted. This would make Paul a Christian retroactively claimed by the Catholic Church as a Catholic.
Evidence of Paul following the traditions now considered "Catholic" are his celibacy, priesthood, observation of faith and works, doctrine of the mystical body of Christ, observance and participation in an established Church hierarchy, literal understanding of the Eucharist as Christ's Body and Blood, etc.
