If my memory is correct (I do not have the rule books with me), the status is dying, not dead. So yes, a dying character can be brought back from a status of dying to above 0 by a timely AP Loan. And this has happened to my character in our game (from -67 IIRC during a nonheroic contest).
Only special actions, such as Humakt's secret absolutely and irrevocably kill during a contest.
The specific resistances to healing hurts, injuries and dying are for healing after a contest is over (again, IIRC).

Charles
