Satellites loops show a low possibly trying to form off the East Coast and west of Bermuda.
My question would this system be considered a Sub Tropical or just a frontal low?

Possible Low forming? Don't get freaked out

It would be just a frontal low, unless it shows in the next few days or so to be a seperate entity from the front. Then it will probably take a few more days after that to even begin to aquire sub-tropical characteristics. And that all assumes it pretty much stays where it is (over the gulf-stream)

As long as the core is warmer than the surrounding environment thats all that is needed for a warm core or tropical system. Late seasons typically have somewhat cool air moving over SST's in the mid 70's; that causes a lot of instability and if upper level winds are right you can end up with a tropical cyclone.
