Yes

In most cases, the more severe rule applies. "Comes in to run for the catcher" does not say the coach asked for a CR. Either way, S1 is not eligible to run for the catcher in any manner, so illegal sub.

Rule 4.6.F takes precedence. The runner is disqualified. Where as if they were an unreported sub, we just enter them as a legal substitute.

Please delete my original comment from you post, I was thinking of an entirely different case.
