Our 2000 mercury cougar does not start up and stay running. We were told the catalytic converters went out on the engine. Could this be true!
Two precats - one for each bank, then the larger main cat.

There are three catalytic converters on a V6 Mercury cougar. You have two pre-cats, one on each exhaust manifold, and a main Cat just after the Y pipe. Note, if you are removing or gutting the pre-cats, use MIL eliminators to stop the car from throwing a code.
It has one.
MY 2000 has 3.

There are 4 cat converters. They're not cheap either
The 2000 Mercury Sable starter can be found on the right hand side of the engine. The starter will be near the back of the engine.
Know that it is illegal to remove the converters. Also know that the engine will not perform correctly with the converters removed.
