Latin term or phrase: Moriendo Renascor
I've been trying to confrim or deny if this translates to " In death I am reborn".

By dying, I am reborn.
Explanation:
'Moriendo' (more classical orthography, 'moriundo') is here a gerund of 'moriri'; the case is (instrumental) ablative. 'Renascor' is a deponent form, i.e., passive in form but active in meaning.

Your suggestion 'In death I am reborn' is not literal but is not inaccurate.
