Well, I went through the books for "Red Court" and "transformation", and I have found three points that might be relevant:


 * 1) In Grave Peril (ch. 2), faith magic, including crosses and holy magic, do not appear to have an effect on Reds, but the scene is set up so that it means nothing. Reds might, just might, be undead.
 * 2) In Summer Knight (ch. 2), there's a reference to "Some part of Susan would die". Not all of her, just part - which I've read as her spirit, or part of her spirit.
 * 3) In Changes (ch. 26), the Eebs proposed to Dresden to be turned into a Red, explicitly promising he wouldn't be killed.

Further, I haven't found an indication that a full transformation to a Red implies the transformee's physical death. It's the human part of her/his spirit that dies, but this does not make him/her "undead".

Ah, I invested in the ebooks, btw - never came around to tell you.
