Mortal sin, etc. question

[son_of_angels]

As someone who believes the Catholic faith, but has not yet been received (darn RCIA program) the sacrament of confession is unavailable to me. Could I still have eternal life through an act of perfect contrition, provided I DO have the intent to confess my sins in the future?
