Surge of Salvation doesn't prevent damage from transformed U/R creatures.
Opponent's first main. They cast a removal spell on one of my creatures. I cast Surge of Salvation in response. It counters it. Then my opponent goes to combat later in that turn. They attack with 3 U/R creatures. They deal damage when surge prevents damage from red sources. It didn't prevent damage.
The creatures in question were U/R elemental tokens and a flipped Khenra Spellspear/Gitaxian Spellstalker.

Opponent flipped the invasion of tolvada and created a white and black spirit with lifelink
I swing for lethal (he had 2 creature, I had 3, he had 1 life) on my turn, opponent blocks one of my creature with that white and black spirit token with lifelink.
I casted surge before damage to prevent the damage from white and black spirit on my creature that would trigger lifelink
Damage wasnt prevented, opponents creature trigger lifelink and he was left with positive life -

Sheoldred's Edict doesn't target, so the only way to stop it from affecting you is to counter it.

After the opponent played Sheoldred's Edict I cast Surge of Salvation but it didn't protect my creature forcing me to choose one of my creatures to sacrifice even with the symbol that they would be protected.

Surge of Salvation prevents damage TO CREATURES. You are not a creature (as far as the game is concerned). Neither are planeswalkers you control (usually), and battles you protect aren't even under your control, and are also not creatures.
