The who was Our Lord speaking to when He said "Depart from me, you cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels."?

He wasn't speaking to anybody. He was talking about the last judgment.

They do NOT affirm any PARTICULAR soul is in hell, they assuredly affirm that there is a hell and that souls are there in torment. To deny that approaches obstinate heresy.

There is a hell, yes. If there are souls there, they are in torment, yes.

Are there definitely souls there? Jesus did not say.

[Conservative til I die]

I'm not sure I follow your statement about there not being souls in hell. I would assume that at any given time there have to be souls in hell, considering that a sentence to hell is eternal. In that sense, there should always be souls in hell, and the number can only get larger.

To believe as you appear to that there are not souls in hell, is to believe that ALL people die in a State of Grace, or said differently that NO ONE HAS EVER died in mortal sin. Is that what you believe?
