You don't know for sure how much anyone else prays. Especially people you've never met.

After I left the LCM, I used to think I was so much more spiritual than people in "the denominations." Then I came to a stunning realization. Not only was I not more spiritual than them, I wasn't spiritual at all. I just had a bunch of knowledge.

Sorry to say I think that's where you may be.

The real indicator of spirituality, or maturity if you will, is humility. Humility and a willingness to serve others even if you, somewhere in your heart, think they should be serving you. It sounds corny, but the bottom line is love. Read 1 Cor 13 again, about what love is like. Does that describe you, or me?
