Odds are your last clearance was "descent maintain X, intercept the localizer." If somehow you can't get reach the controller by the time you get to the MAP, execute the missed.
Well, you said you wouldn’t leave your last assigned altitude which might be required if the MAP calls for it. That was why I commented. It’s all good if you can raise ATC and get alternate instructions but the whole system is set up to account for the times you can’t.
