Fed Courtesy Runner

Another question at our meeting tonight.

In the 5th inning, a #5 pinch hits for the catcher's spot in the lineup. After reaching base, the OC wants to bring in his courtesy runner for #5.

What do you do?

I would have allowed it. To me, the current catcher is on first base, simply because he has REPLACED the spot in the lineup. Others said that he couldn't have a courtesy runner because he wasn't the catcher on record.

If you have any cites to back either stance, please give it. I couldn't find anything specific enough in the Case Book or Rules to give either side any merit.
