That's some really neat parallelism. I'm glad you pointed it out.
I go back and forth and whether or not Spike actually believed her; I think I'm going to save forming a definitive opinion til I rewatch S7 after having rewatched the entire rest of the series. But to some extent, I don't think it really mattered, because Spike had found his purpose and his absolution at that moment, and everything else was just extra helpings.
Whether or not he believed her, though, I think at that last moment they understood each other as well as they ever had, and that says a lot about how far they'd come from "Dead Things."
