Is there a reasonable notion of spectral theorem on a pre-Hilbert space?

I'm trying to understand how bad things could possibly get without Cauchy completeness as a criterion for Hilbert spaces in quantum mechanics. Obviously, doing calculus on a pre-Hilbert space would be ...

$H$ self-adjoint with mass gap, $P≥0,Ω∈D(P),H+λP$ self-adjoint $⟹$ for $λ$ small, $H+λP$ has gap?

Suppose $H$ is a self-adjoint operator on a Hilbert space having a simple isolated least eigenvalue $0$ with gap $1$ ( $H\Omega = 0$, $\Vert \Omega\Vert = 1$ ), $P$ is a non-negative symmetric ...
