no. compression can be lost in different ways such as, when the either the cylinder walls or the rings around the piston wear out, bent or broken valves, broken piston or possibly a head gasket.
catalytic converters are on car to reduce emissions only. they do so by using a catalyst to convert carbon monoxide, hydrocarbons, and nitrogen oxides into less harmful gases.
catalytic converters can "plug up" and create back pressure in the exhaust causing the engin not to run properly or at all.

Does a head gasket make an engine lose compression?
Verification on your question: Do head gaskets make cars lose pressure....hmmmmm, I think what your asking is.... Does a head gasket make an engine lose compression. - Correct?The simple answer is yes, it does, but it is by design. The amount the head gasket lowers the compression (or pressure) is built into the overall design of the engine. For instance, if you were to assemble the head to the block, without a gasket, you would raise the compression (pressure) slightly and potentially cause damage to the engine. This would most likely become apparent when you burn out a valve or burn a hole in the top of a piston.In general terms: - The greater the compression ratio, the bigger the explosion in the bore and the more heat that is produced.
