Only the Sacrament of Baptism, that is performed in another Christian Church, is recognized by the Catholic Church.

.

Catholic Answer

The only sacrament that can be given by anyone - even a non-baptized person - is baptism. Every other sacrament, including confirmation, requires a validly ordained priest, which can only be found in a Catholic Church, or in an Orthodox Church which has maintained valid orders. Someone outside the Catholic Church who has been validly baptized is considered a Christian, but any confirmation attempted outside the Church would be invalid.

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. That does not make him welcome to receive the Eucharist at a Catholic Mass. He is recognized as a baptized Christian, separated from the fullness of the Church.
