I’m not sure what you are asking…if you are implying that the catchers glove became detached from his hand, then no, it is not an out (assuming the tag beat the touch of home).  He did not maintain possession.

This also assumes the runner did nothing intentional to detach the glove

An offensive player skids into home, the catcher tags him but his catchers mitt with the ball inside sticks under the sliding players arm. Is he out?

 

@SH0102 has it, but think of it this way ........  in your scenario, ...does the catcher have the ball?  No, ...it's in his mitt lying on the ground, that cannot be "possession".
