Makom, Avoda Zara 19b s.v. Tana, Chiddushei HaRan Avodah Zarah 44b) allows this because it is just like thoughts of Torah.

# Reciting Pesukim in a manner of prayer and not learning is permissible for Ashkenazim prior to reciting Birchot HaTorah and more or less prohibited for Sephardim.<Ref>Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 46:9). See Chikrei Lev 9, Yosef Ometz 66, Yabia Omer 4 OC 7, Or LeTzion 2:4:4, and Yabia Omer 9 OC 108:29 for a discussion regarding whether or not Shulchan Aruch thinks it's permissible according to the letter of the law and is just being strict or he actually holds it is prohibited. Rav Ovadia and Rav Ben Tzion agree that MeIkar HaDin, Shulchan Aruch thinks it's permissible and the custom is just to be strict, so they allow one to answer Kedushah and the 13 Middot, respectively, if one is caught in a minyan that is reciting them and has not yet recited Birchot HaTorah. Magen Avot Orac Chaim 6 fn 6 notes how although some people did seem to take the lenient approach in Morocco, one cannot call it a Minhag because they were just following how it was printed in the siddur and also some people would recite the Berachot at home, anyway.</ref> See [[Chodesh_Elul#Order_of_Selichot|Chodesh_Elul, Order_of_Selichot]]. | # Reciting Pesukim in a manner of prayer and not learning is permissible for Ashkenazim prior to reciting Birchot HaTorah and more or less prohibited for Sephardim.<Ref>Shulchan Aruch (Orach Chaim 46:9).
