It will recover if you let go of the controls, yes.  And that is the backup 
spin recovery drill: release all the controls.  It doesn’t mention praying, at 
any stage . . .

If you carry out a full spin recovery drill I suppose it takes about a turn to 
recover, nose down.  It is very benign if you hold the full pro-spin controls 
with the stick centred.  If you give it any aileron it tends to tighten the 
spiral and speed up.
