There is no 7-5-R, did you mean 7-6-R? I don't see either applying. Batter hasn't hindered the catcher by stepping out of the batters box and has not interfered with a play at home plate.

Stretching to find coverage in light of the discussion.

"stepping out of the batters box":
takes off for 1st.

"interfered with a play at home":
F2 throws to second to get batter, R2 comes home to score.

There is a passed ball which is an exception to 7.3.D

Look up the definition of "play". There was no attempt to retire the runner therefore there is no play with which to interfere.

Of course, I said I was "Stretching to find coverage" , using the Batting rule as the player involved was still a batter.

And, was curious about a response.
