As noted, that requires that another fielder and is silent on the catcher making the catch.
If a line drive can hit off an infielders glove over foul territory and still be caught in flight for an out, why should it be different for any other defender including the catcher?
And before someone starts putting the onus on the defense for not making the initial catch, remember it was the batter who failed in his/her effort that caused the situation.
