How it is possible for a sinner Muslim to die as sinner Muslim? I don't understand how this works, because shahada works only on good and practical Muslims, but what about sinner Muslims?
I did not understand your question properly. Are you asking how can a sinner Muslim say Shahadah at the time of death? If this is your question, then yes we need to worry about it and constantly ask Allah to make us die upon Islam. Also we should try to live our whole lives according to Qur'an and Sunnah and inshaAllah we will be able to recite kalimah before our death.
Also the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم used to make the following dua for protection from Shaitan:
….وَأَعُوذُ بِكَ أَنْ يَتَخَبَّطَنِي الشَّيْطَانُ عِنْدَ الْمَوْتِ….(رواه ابو داود (1/568)

There's an explanation of this hadith.

That is not correct.

Muslim only commits disbelief (kufr) if he or she leaves prayer out of denial of its obligation (istihlal/juhud) or out of disdain and contempt (istikhfaf). All the four Schools of Islamic law are in agreement that such a person leaves the fold of Islam, and as such, if he or she became Muslim again, the missed prayers would not have to be made up according to the Hanafis and Malikis. According to the Shafi’is, however, such a person would have to make those prayers up, as a disciplinary measure.
As for leaving out prayer out of laziness (kasl), even if continuously, it does not entail disbelief according to the vast majority of Imams as long as one firmly believes in the obligation of the prayer and does not treat it with disdain and contempt. Such a person will need to make up for all the prayers missed. Yes, there is an opinion within the Hanbalis that such a person becomes an unbeliever and is dealt with as a renegade (murtad) from Islam. (See: al-Majmu, al-Mughni, Fath al-Qadir, al-Bahr al-Ra’iq and other Fiqh references)
