Catechism of Pope Pius X
Preliminary Lesson Questions 1-10

On Christian Doctrine and its Principal Parts

1 Q. Are you a Christian?

A. Yes, I am a Christian, by the grace of God.

2 Q. Why do you say: By the grace of God?

A. I say: By the grace of God,
 because to be a Christian is a perfectly gratuitous gift of God,
 which we ourselves could not have merited.

3 Q. Who is a true Christian?

A. A true Christian is he who is baptized,
 who believes and professes the Christian Doctrine,
 and obeys the lawful pastors of the Church.

4 Q. What is Christian Doctrine?

A. Christian doctrine is the doctrine which Jesus Christ our Lord taught us to show us the Way of Salvation.

5 Q. Is it necessary to learn the doctrine taught by Jesus Christ?

A. It certainly is necessary to learn the doctrine taught by Jesus Christ,
 and those who fail to do so are guilty of a grave breach of duty.

6 Q. Are parents and guardians bound to send their children and those dependent on them to catechism?

A. Parents and guardians are bound to see that their children And dependents learn Christian Doctrine,
 and they are guilty before God if they neglect this duty.

7 Q. From whom are we to receive and learn Christian Doctrine?

A. We are to receive and learn Christian Doctrine from the Holy Catholic Church.

8 Q. How are we certain that the Christian Doctrine which we receive from the Holy Catholic Church is really true?

A. We are certain that the doctrine which we receive from the Holy Catholic Church is true,
because Jesus Christ, the divine Author of this doctrine, committed it through His Apostles to the Church,
which He founded and made the infallible teacher of all men, promising her His divine assistance until the end of time.

9 Q. Are there other proofs of the truth of Christian Doctrine?

A. The truth of Christian Doctrine is also shown by:
1 the eminent sanctity of numbers who have professed it and who still profess it,
2 by the heroic fortitude of the martyrs,
3 by its marvelous and rapid propagation in the world,
4 and by its perfect preservation throughout so many centuries of ceaseless and varied struggles.

10 Q. What and how many are the principal and most necessary parts of Christian Doctrine?

A. The principal and most necessary parts of Christian Doctrine are four
1 The Creed,
2 The Our Father,
3 The Commandments,
4 and The Sacraments.

I am fascinated by your post and hope you will continue, and will also indicate the source of your outline.  I found considerable pdf material on the Pius X Catechism, but also some controversy.  I've added one version to my favorites file, which starts with an abridged introduction by Fr Francois Laisney of Sidney, Australia (1993) who says to his knowledge St Pius' Catechism has never been published in English.  I'm still trying to think this through.
Next is an introduction by RRM John Hagan which provides a very brief history of Catechism publication efforts.  I'll keep looking for the version you found. Best regards.
