No, the Jewish historian Josephus is the only one who provides even a little information about Pilate's life before 26 A.D. when Caesar appointed him procurator of Judea. He suggests that Pilate was probably a Roman citizen from a middle class family. As a Roman citizen of the time, he would have believed in the Roman gods that were currently in vogue.

And of course, Christianity hadn't been invented, much less the Roman Catholic version of it. Jesus was a rabbi of the Nazorean sect of Judaism, and the ejection of his followers from Judaism to become Christianity came in the 90s AD. Pilate is believed to have died 36 AD.

There are some apocryphal writings that state that both Pilate and his wife Claudia Procula died as Christians but there is no factual information to support this. The Greek Church recognizes Claudia as a saint and she has an assigned feast day of October 27.
