If you have to ask, that means you did not see an out, so how are you going to call an out if your partner has no answer or wasn't there? By asking, you have effectively questioned your own judgment.

I don't think it means I did not see an out. It means from what I could see I had an out, but I might have missed one information and I will ask for it. Afterwards the BU will make the call.
Then if all the information you have indicates an out, call it. BTW, while you and your partner are having this nice conversation, who is covering the play at 3B or home? Just because there may be a question doesn't mean the players stop playing.
