Spells and abilities that would normally cause you to gain or lose life still resolve while your life total can't change, but the life-gain or life-loss part simply has no effect.
wotc7 Jun 2024
If an effect would cause you to exchange life totals with another player, the exchange won't happen. Neither player's life total changes.
wotc7 Jun 2024
If an effect says to set your life total to a certain number, that part of the effect won't do anything.
wotc7 Jun 2024
Abilities that trigger whenever damage is dealt to you will still trigger because that damage is still dealt, even though your life total doesn't change as a result.
wotc7 Jun 2024
The effect of Flare of Fortitude doesn't prevent damage. Rather, it changes the results of that damage. For example, if a creature with lifelink deals damage to you, you won't lose any life, but its controller will still gain that much life. Similarly, if a creature you control with lifelink deals damage to another player, that player will lose life but you won't gain any life.

Effects that replace an event with having you gain life (like Words of Worship's effect does) or having you lose life will end up replacing the event with nothing.
