Even if a person was caught in a vigilante sting, where no actual child was involved, it does not mean they cannot be charged. They will be treated as if they were talking to a real child.

Any evidence collected by the vigilantes, such as chat logs, can be used by the police in a prosecution. It would depend on what was said, as to what the actual charges are, because there are different types of communication offence, ranging from publishing an indecent article, up to facilitation or incitement.
