There's no hard and fast answer to this. It depends on the mortgage holder and what's specified in your actual loan documents. Most of the time mortgage holders don't really want to foreclose, since it's a hassle for them, and late payments... as long as they're within a month of the due date... probably will just get penalties in the form of a late payment fee rather than trigger a foreclosure, but check your contract.

Can you make payments before you are 3 months late with you mortgage payment to stop foreclosure?
Yes, but contact your mortgage company and make the arrangements. Lenders always prefer making arrangements rather than going into foreclosure because they lose money on every house foreclosed on.
If you have a foreclosure on your home can you make a payment to stop it?
This really depends on many factors -- how far into the foreclosure process are you...1, 2 or 10 months late on the mortgage? If you have only missed 2 payments, you can most definitely avoid foreclosure when you make a payment for the 2 late payments , plus any late fees, etc. However, if you are 3 months late and the bank has already issued a notice of trustee sale to sell your home on a particular date and you can only make a payment for one month, then most likely than not, your home will be sold at the auction. In this scenario, you may have to make a payment for the past 3 months, plus any late and attorney feesm in order to get current on your loan. However, every bank is different and therefore your bank may have a program available to help you catch up on the late payments. Call your bank and ask them to help you keep your home by offering you a payment plan. Good luck.
