2005 Kia Sedona Catalytic Converter
possible but as the cat converter is a mass honeycomb of openings around 1/2 mm one small spot of carbon would not cause the fault
when a new engine is fitted, the oxygen sensor will take time to read the operation of the cat converter and if the cat is failing as they said then at some point the readings may be outside the set parameters for the sensor
That in turn will cause the heated oxygen sensor to go out of parameters and possibly put the light on
they are partially correct to say not to worry about the cat converter until it starts to break down then it will block the exhaust or you get an inspection and a test ordered
At this point in time , drive it and put some saving aside for a new cat converter and have it changed when you can afford it
