Martin Luther most certainly did not die a Catholic. However, he had gained the respect of his Catholic adversary, Holy Roman Emperor Charles V, who commanded his troops to not disturb Luther's burial site during their invasion.

Catholic AnswerOf course not, what a ridiculous concept! The Catholic Church is the Mystical Body of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. He founded it on the Apostle Peter (see Matthew 16:17-19), died given birth to it when His Side was pierced by a lance as He hung dead on the Cross, and confirmed and led by the Holy Spirit fifty days later on Pentecost. The Catholic Church is here to preach the Gospel, and bring people to salvation and everlasting happiness in heaven. The Catholic Church is here to save everyone that It possibly can, and Martin Luther was a professed friar of the Augustinian Order vowed to Obedience, Chastity, and Poverty. Martin Luther did a fine job all by himself of killing his soul in spite of everything that the Catholic Church did to offer him the salvation.
Baptism brings about an ontological change. In other words, you become something different. The reason why baptism cannot be repeated is that this change is permanent, so once a person is baptized as a Catholic, they remain a Catholic even to death and beyond that. However, Martin Luther had long stopped practicing his religion, so he died a non-practicing Catholic, he died an excommunicate heretic.
Yes, he was a Catholic, as a matter of fact, he was an Augustinian Friar who was ordained to the priesthood, supposedly. He was the prime example of how bad the education of priests and friars was at that time. And, he taught theology! He founded his own "church" (the first protestant "church") so he died as an excommunicated Catholic.
