So part of this request is solved: people who are known to the system but are not in "Pending" state can login (create an account) and apply (though this is VERY unobvious).
People whose membership is pending but incomplete CANNOT complete (update) their membership. This happens in our organization when they pay membership fees without filling in an application (e.g. at an event; not online). We need to "pencil them in" then have them complete the application. They cannot.
