Cindering Cutthroat's first ability cares whether an opponent lost life this turn, not how their life total changed. For example, an opponent who gained 2 life and lost 1 life in the same turn still lost life.

Once Cindering Cutthroat has been blocked by a single creature, activating its last ability won't cause it to become unblocked.
