I know that resolution is undecidable in general (because it is a proof procedure for first order logic, whose proofs are undecidable),

I think you mean that the set of *theorems* of FOL is undecidable. It
is trivial to determine whether a sequence of formulas of FOL is a
proof.

Yes. Sorry for the unclear terminology.
