Accepted answer
Can a baptized Protestant (but not confirmed as Catholic) receive absolution from a Catholic priest?
If the situation merits such an undertaking as in danger of death or some other serious issue: Yes it would be permitted.
This is foreseen in Canon Law in reference to the sacraments of confession and the Eucharist. The confession of a catechumen would obviously be allowed in a serious situation such as in the danger of death.
844§4. If the danger of death is present or if, in the judgment of the diocesan bishop or conference of bishops, some other grave necessity urges it, Catholic ministers administer these same sacraments licitly also to other Christians not having full communion with the Catholic Church, who cannot approach a minister of their own community and who seek such on their own accord, provided that they manifest Catholic faith in respect to these sacraments and are properly disposed.
844§5. For the cases mentioned in §§2, 3, and 4, the diocesan bishop or conference of bishops is not to issue general norms except after consultation at least with the local competent authority of the interested non-Catholic Church or community.
