As far as I'm aware, the work "catalyst" only applies to things which work on enzymes. Baking powder is a mixture of an acid and an alkali, which reacts upon adding a liquid by releasing Co2. (Although some also react upon heating). It is a chemical reaction, not an enzymatic one, therefore I don't think you can consider it to be a catalyst.
