My understanding for years is that Loss of Life is not Damage. They are two different things. Correct? Therefore abilities that reduce damage should not reduce loss of life. Correct?

That's very impressive. I am puzzled as to why Spell Resistance, which reduces damage, reduces loss of life from a spell like Steal Life. I don't think it should.
Unable to reproduce. Spell Resistance did not prevent or reduce the loss of life from Steal Life that I can tell.
Oh sorry for wasting your time then, Sok. A high ranking player was telling me last night that all spells besides ED, that do loss of life are reduced by Spell Resistance. Thank you for being thorough though.
I did it primarily because I witnessed it happening in a match first hand while using an Elven Fury. Perhaps it's difficult to reproduce, but we'll get there.
