If a catcher catches strike 3 from a pitcher, does the catcher get a putout?

yes the catcher certainly gets a putout, it is the catchers responsibility to hold on to the third strike, and if the catcher drops the ball and the batter reaches first then the strikeout is recorded for stats but no out is recorded because the catcher failed to make the putout to get the batter out. if the catcher was to drop the third strike, then the first baseman gets the putout because he catches the ball and puts the already struck out batter officially out.

Yes.
All K's caught are putouts for the catcher. If the 3rd strike is dropped and the catcher has to throw the batter-runner out at 1st base, then he get an assist. The pitcher still gets credit for a strikeout.

The catcher is credited the putout when the batter is retired by a caught Strike Three.

No, why would it be a popout?
