Yes, a scratched piston will cause problems with compression. It scratches the cylinder wall and causes wear on the rings.

A piston is attached to a piston rod in a combustion engine. It compresses the air in the cylinder block and that air ignites when fuel is injected into the block, giving the car power.
From the combustion of air and fuel in the combustion chamber.
when the piston and valve meet the fuel is compressed and with spark you have combustion
If the rings are worn and oil is entering the combustion chamber then yes it can destroy a catalytic converter one time.

In the combustion process, the explosion pushes the piston down
A piston in an engine functions as a class 1 lever. The piston moves up and down inside the cylinder, converting the pressure from the combustion process into mechanical energy that drives the engine. The force from the expanding gases acts on the piston (effort), which then creates a turning effect on the crankshaft (load).
An open combustion chamber is a type of combustion chamber found in some internal combustion engines where the combustion area is not fully enclosed by the piston and cylinder head. This design allows for better airflow and mixing of air and fuel for combustion.
A stroke in an internal combustion engine is when a piston moves up or down.
The compression ratio of an internal-combustion engine, or an IC engine as it is more commonly called, is the ratio of the volume the highest capacity of the combustion chamber to its lowest capacity. In the IC engine, the piston makes a stroke, resulting in the compression of the air in the combustion chamber - the ratio between the volume of the cylinder and combustion chamber when the piston is at the bottom of its stroke, and the volume of the combustion chamber when the piston is at the top of its stroke, is the compression ratio.
Main difference is that in a gas turbine, combustion is continuous. In a piston engine, combustion is pulsed.
