Reply to "Is this an error?"

Another edition: runner on third, fly ball to right, one hop throw to home, ball bounces into, then out of catcher's glove.  Runner is safe at home.  If caught cleanly, catcher would have had time for a tag attempt. Do I score that an error on the catcher?

Not an ump but from my own common sense thinking (which sometimes gets me in trouble when it comes to baseball rules) ...

If it is a clean one-hop that comes up early for an easy catch and clearly beats the runner, I would give an E.  Any short hop or bang bang, no E.  Almost always no E on this play.
