confessable
Able to admit
Confessable describes something that can be confessed or admitted—a sin, secret, or wrongdoing suitable for disclosure: Her mistakes were confessable; his were not.
The word often implies a judgment about whether something rises to the level of requiring confession, or whether it's mild enough to reveal without serious consequence.
