No, eternity mean always live forever, no matter whatever pain or not, death and decay can't touch it. Eternity and immortal almost same, but immortal almost same as eternity but can be changed imortal into mortal subject to death and decay.
I’m afraid you have those the wrong way.
To be eternal means you live for eternity; hence you don’t age. It doesn’t mean you can’t die by other means. A lich for example would be immortal.
An immortal would be something like a god/deity. Yes, they probably wouldn’t age either (depending) but they are exempt from death. Because...they’re not mortal. They suffer no mortality (which is dying and where the naming for a mortal infliction/wound stems from). Immortal doesn’t necessarily mean celestial and both are not interchangeable. It honestly depends on folklore and mythology. But when it comes down to etymology, eternal means to not age/everlasting until otherwise.
