It is called, simply, Baptism.

Sometimes we use the word "Christening", which means to name; but Baptism is more appropriate as it is a welcome to the Church and a sacrament, giving grace, and freedom from original sin. The word Christening is not used in the ceremony.

Can your baby be considered catholic if baptized in a Methodist church?

I'm afraid not. The Catholic church will consider the baby as a 'Christian' and not a 'Roman Catholic' since they were baptized. It's a valid sacrament in the eyes of the Catholic Church. However you need to talk to the parish priest in the Catholic Church and they'll guide you with more information as to make your baby a Roman Catholic.
