That depends on the specifics of the means by which you come back, I think. It certainly did in the only case I've seen in play.

A PC got shot, passed -1 x HP, failed his HT roll and died. His spirit Ally saw this, grabbed his departing soul, stuffed it back in the body, and applied his Healing (Affects Substantial) power, getting the PC above -1 x HP. The character had 25 unspent points (the player doesn't worry about game mechanics very much) and was allowed to buy an Extra Life with them. So he was alive, but still on negative HP, and needed to heal up from there.

The player wanted the PC to have low HT (9, at the time) for background reasons and hadn't fully understood how easy that made dying. He's now investing in Hard to Kill.
