Does a Catholic ask a dying person to accept Christ as their savior

[Peebo]

This is a hypothetical question…how would a Catholic be expected to react if you found someone who had been severely injured in a car wreck…you are first on the scene…the person is conscious but looks like they might be dying…apart from trying to comfort them…would you ask them if they wanted you to pray for them…would you ask them if they were a Christian…or a Catholic…if they believed that Christ was their savior…( or is that too Protestant ) if they were a Catholic could you as a lay person give them any type of absolution because there was a good chance they would die before a priest would see them…is there a special prayer a lay person can pray for that persons soul if they did die before help arrived.

You would pray fro them. If they were found to be Catholic (or they asked you to) you would summon a priest.
That’s it.

Just pray for them. You might, in certain cases, ask if they’ve been baptized, and if not, ask if they want to be. But no, don’t hassle them with questions. Don’t ever push. Just provide what comfort you can: holding a hand, words of comfort, prayer unless it seems to distress (then pray silently).
