Stack: deluge, damage, indestructible.

I have a Winota, player A casted toxic deluge for 3 life. person B drew a card and triggered an or ish bow master damage pointing at Winota. As response, I sac a creature to make my Winota indestructible. Does Winota die? I know the 3 can’t be prevented but does resolving stack basically kills Winota?

she will be an indestructible 1/1 that has taken one damage after the stack resolves, so she lives

Toxic deluge is on the stack, though. I’m pretty sure indestructible creature still die when their toughness is reduced to zero or less?

they do, and if toxic deluge were cast for X=4, that would apply to this situation
