there are whole threads on proper steps to take. Unaced insulation then poly over tub and walls extending down over the lip of tub,
then cement board,
then redguard or similiar
then tile,grout and sealer!!
Anything less is asking for do over.
Oh and while we are at it ANY punky or compromised framing is replaced all first!! that means walls floors anything!! IF your gutting the whole room the mold proof paperless drywall for the REST of the room is a great idea to prevent mold in a damp likely spot,,,,a bathroom.
