I am a convert. I went to my first confession during RCIA, but several months before the rest of the class officially went for the first time. I told the priest I was in RCIA, and it was clearly months before Lent when the class officially goes to confession. He was fine with it and gave me absolution. I physically felt relief. Later my RCIA director also told me my confession was valid. I fully believed the church teachings, had done a lot of outside reading from the class, and identified as Catholic fully already.

But now I keep reading on here that it can’t be valid except at the official RCIA time, so I’m worried. Was my confession valid?
 
As long as you are a baptized with the Trinitarian formla, and had the intent on converting it was valid.
