Im guessing it would depend on the stance of the parents, godparents or other relatives.

ANSWER

No. Per RCC Canon law, at least ONE of the Godparents must be a Catholic in good standing (and provide documentation from his/her parish confirming that fact).

The role of a Godparent is to assist the child's parents in raising the child in the Catholic faith. How and why would a non-Catholic be suitable for such an important spiritual role? He/she would not.

If you get your son baptized Lutheran is he still recognized by the Catholic Church?

Short answer: Yes. Longer explanation: your son will be recognized as being baptized into the Christian community. All Christian baptisms are recognized by the Catholic Church. Longer answer: His baptism is recognized, as are other Trinitarian baptisms and church marriages, as well. That does not make him Catholic.
