A diplomatic agent of the pope with rank equal to that of an ambassador is a nuncio.

Other than that, you are probably thinking of a papal legate, who is an agent sent by the pope on a specific errand, with delegated administrative authority. (This must not be confused with an apostolic prefect or apostolic vicar, who is sent with special sacramental faculties to administrate and serve an evangelical mission.)
