No player can cast spells or activate abilities between returning the creature card to the battlefield and checking whether it’s an Angel.

If the creature is an Angel only on the battlefield (perhaps because it’s a non-Angel creature card and Xenograft is on the battlefield), it will get the +1/+1 counters.
