“Sentient is one thing; sapient is yet another, and a spiritual component is needed for the latter.”

This is word salad and circular reasoning.

It is a version of “I am the center of the universe. What I have is called a spiritual component. If other entities are not me they are not spiritual. Am I clever or what?”

Eh? That’s not what I said at all. I was actually referencing Job 32:8, which says no such thing. No machine would be truly sapient without such a thing.

So because you did not understand what I wrote, you label it “word salad” in a fit of argumentum ad lapidem?
