The 'natural' recovery of hit points says nothing about being alive or dead. Once you are 'dying' you can stabalize. Once you recover enough HP to be above 0, you can become not unconscious. Once not unconscious, you are 'dead' and have no soul. But the rules don't really say anything about not being able to function otherwise.
