Catholic AnswerThere is not a specific sacrament for the dying, I believe what you are referring to used to be known as Last Rites. Last Rites consists, if possible, of confession, Anointing, Holy Communion, and the Last Blessing, which amounts to three Sacraments plus the Blessing. The Last Blessing follows the Sacrament of Anointing (used to be called Unction or Extreme Unction) and the priest imparts the Apostolic Blessing which gives a plenary indulgence to the dying person.

Who receives the anointing of the sick?

People that are are dying/about to die, have a chance of dying because of something (Such as before a high-risk surgery), or are just very ill. The person to receive the Anointing must be a baptized Catholic. If capable and if needed, they should go to confession first, and receive Holy Communion afterward. I know that the sacrament forgives venial sin, I am not sure about mortal sin in the case of someone no longer capable of making a good confession prior to receiving the sacrament - you would need to ask the priest that. The Catechism says that the sacrament "obtains the forgiveness of sins, if the sick person was not able to obtain it through the sacrament of Penance.
