Battery cable continuety between + and - without battery?

If you measure continuety without a battery hooked up, should there be low resistance (almost a short) when measuring between positive and negative cable ends?
I think my starter just took a crap after only 2 starts.

From: out of my mind; be back in 5 minutes....
Car: 1989 Firebird Formula
Engine: Internal Combustion
Transmission: Completed
Axle/Gears: ones that turn.
There will be resistance if any circuits are completed, such as having the door open and having the dome light come 'on', or the memory feed to the radio.
Almost forgot - the memory feed to the ECM as well.
