(1) Any being capable of recognizing a need for salvation and who would humbly ask for baptism would, by definition, have a soul.

(2) The Church does not baptize "dogs and cats" - but it does bless them, just as it blesses homes and churches.

Does that mean that those people that do not recognize a need for salvation and humbly ask for baptism, do not have souls?
