There is no hebrew word for "baptist". In Hebrew, he is called יוחנן המטביל (Yokhanan hamatbil), which means, "John the dunker".

Was John the Baptist a Catholic missionary?

At the time of John the Baptist, Christianity was not yet formed. Since John the Baptist was Hebrew, he followed the Hebrew religion. Under the Hebrew religion, people from the Tribe of Levi were Priests. John's father was a Levi and also a priest. Through his bloodline, John would have been a priest, but there is no indication he worked at the temple. However, the Bible does show that John did have a ministry -- though accounts from the Bible show that John's ministry took place outside, in the open. Usually, it would be customary for John, as a Levite, to have worked at the temple, but it is not mentioned if he ever did or not.
