A Protestant who believes in confession (as a Sacrament)could receive it in a grave situation since none of the Protestant churches have the sacrament of confession, making it impossible for him to approach one of his own ministers for it.

OK, thanks. I take it then that it would be improper for me to just wander in some day and enter a confessional. That's fine with me. I would only always want to show respect in the next circumstance I find myself in a Catholic Church. I was very glad to learn the proper response for me if I ever found myself in a communion line. As a kid I actually did take communion improperly in a Catholic setting, having no idea what was going on at the time. :)

I imagine that if you did happen to wander in and identify yourself as a non Catholic, the priest should be able to handle your case in a respectful and holy fashion. I think that he might even appreciate your attendance.

If you do make it before me, say a Hail Mary for me, if you would. :)
