I thought it was because she had died that he could get in without an invitation...
See, I had wondered that, but then Kate had the line at the end about her never inviting Angel in, so I took it to mean that TPTB had been the reason Angel could enter her apartment. Otherwise, that line of Kate's was a total misdirect. Also, if Kate had died and then Angel brought her back, would mean that we'd end up with two police sidekicks? Because that would be annoying.
(Edited for clarity. Well, more than I usually bring to my posts, anyway.)
I think the same thing Narrator thinks, and not just about her clarity, either. :-P
I've been searching through the TT thread where Tim discussed it with us, and he was
somewhat
cryptic -- first asking rhetorically "wasn't she dead?", then posting "I didn't say she *was* dead" -- but the consensus at the time was that TPTB intervened.

I feel damned by faint praise. Or something.
plus? how did Angel bring her back? with some cold water? what is she? a Chia-Pet? just add a little water and she'll come to life.
Someone told him after Prophesy Girl that his "no breath" bit was just superstition from his youth.
seriously? i don't remember that.
so now vampires have their equivalent of an old wive's tale, huh?
I agree with those who lament the lack of mature mixed-sex friendships on TV, and also agree with those who say that such friendships are the basis of strong romantic relationships and the way TV never gets this right is a long-standing pet peeve of mine (I think ST:TNG almost got there with Riker & Troi, but there was a lot of nonsense as well).
I've never been sure how I feel about the Angel/Cordy relationship, but good point about Mal & Zoe, and (more kudos to Firefly) Mal and Kaylee also had a great friendship, although of a very different nature. Indeed, Mal's rich, varied relationships with all the women on Serenity constituted much of the texture of the show, come to think of it. Makes you wish you could have met his mother. But oops, not a Firefly thread.
"Someone told him after Prophesy Girl that his "no breath" bit was just superstition from his youth."
Is my fanwank as a theory, BTW. Never has it since been discussed on the air.
