“To enter into the sacrament of matrimony under Catholic Law, one has be baptized Christian. If this is the case for both parties, than there is a valid marriage which cannot be dissolved.”

Actually you are incorrect in this. The church recognizes the marriage even if one party has not been baptized and even if the marriage was not in the church.

This is incorrect, unless a dispensation was given beforehand from the relevant Catholic ordinary. In this case the Marriage is real but it is non-sacramental.
