Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is incorrect. What is correct is that holy freeze will slow enemies, regardless of cold immunity. However, the damage in the pulse and the damage added to your attacks are both affected by enemy resistance and immunity. In other words, when you run into a cold immune, you'd better at least have some decent physical damage backing up your cold attack. This is why the majority of elemental zealot guides these days (at least the ones I've seen) suggest investing points in sacrifice, to boost the pysical damage side of your attack. Another option would be to use vengeance when you run into those pesky immunes.
