Try paying attention to what is explained in the show before asking retarded questions like that
>>135988780
Except it wasn't explained. Nice try, asshole.
Yeah, that "thing" AKA Rei had a soul. Not just any soul, by the way, THE Soul.
The soul that begets all other souls, Rei is the primordial Mother and the rightful God of mankind.
All explained and shown directly in NGE/EoE.
She is degraded to human ignorant form, made to serve her offspring until she returns 'home' in the finale.
>>135988868
Yes it was.
>>135988721
Gendo Ikari.
>>135989014
That was also done in service to a lilin.

To answer this question, you must first answer when humans get a soul.
Nah, it's just a soulless doll designed to attract autistic otaku who can't into real human beings like Asuka.

>At the final stage of the Instrumentality Project, Rei betrayed Gendou, returned to Lilith of her own judgment and entrusted the future to Gendou's son -- Shinji Ikari.
