Q:If I give my opponent's Infinite / Infinite Bramblesnap Spiritualize (whenever it deals damage, I gain that much life) am I dead when it hits, or do I come out at infinite life?(disregarding the fact that you can't do actual infinities, it's just to convey the point)

So an opponent’s lethal damage Bramblesnap is coming at you and you cast Spiritualize on it hoping to eek-out a win?

Unfortunately, due to state-based actions, you lose before the Spiritualize ever hits the stack to do anything meaningful.

704.1. State-based actions are game actions that happen automatically whenever certain conditions (listed below) are met. State-based actions don’t use the stack.

…

704.5a If a player has 0 or less life, he or she loses the game.
