There is no difference. The name of the sacrament is Reconciliation, the act is confessing. By confessing your sins and asking for forgivness from God, you are reconciling yourself with Jesus.

What is a seasonal Catholic?

A seasonal Catholic is basically a Protestant who was baptized and raised Catholic, but looks on the Church the same way a Protestant looks on his "church". In other words, a seasonal Catholic does not realize that the Catholic Church is the Body of Christ on earth; and consequently, they do not follow Catholic doctrine, they do not attend Confession regularly, and they usually only show up for Mass on Christmas and Easter, as if they were a Protestant.

If you are Jewish can you receive reconciliation?

Roman Catholic AnswerNo, Reconciliation (or Penance) is on of the seven sacraments of the Catholic church. The only one that can be received by someone who is not baptised is Baptism. All other Sacraments are means of grace that can only be received by a member of the Church. However, you can always talk to a priest, if you have a problem, and they will be able to give you a blessing after your talk. I *believe* (you can ask) that such a talk is covered by the same confidentiality that would be extended towards somebody in the confessional.
