Sincere repentance is obligatory for abandoning prayer, as it is one of the gravest sins. Abandoning prayer is not considered disbelief according to the majority of scholars. Neither an apostate nor an original disbeliever is required to perform a (ritual bath) to enter Islam, unless they have incurred an impurity that necessitates ghusl.
