I'm a very emotional person and I cry nearly every week in church. But that doesn't make me any more spiritual than a person who is not emotional at all. I have cried like a baby over things that I've done that I feel like were not pleasing to God. But not everyone responds in the same way.
I know people who have had genuine conversion experiences and didn't outwardly shed a tear. But they CHOSE to follow Christ and then were baptized and filled with His Spirit. I don't consider them any less saved.
