Do you contradict this claim?

No. I assert the claim that I made, which is relevant to that comment's parent.

A related background assumption that I don't make is that 'no finite time of death' implies 'infinite life'. There are specifications of the physics of time that I assign non zero probability of being the correct map for which a reasonable specification of 'immortal' relies no infinite duration of time.
