Is it Catholic belief that God knows what a person will do in their life at the time of creation, or before?

This definition of creationism is so far from the word in common usage as to communicate nothing but confusion.

To 99.9% of people who use the word, including 99.95 of devout Catholics, creationism is the belief in God creating everything in 6 “days’.
