I think humans have souls. It just so happens that they aren’t immortal by default.
I wouldn’t want to make your substitution, for the same reason why Taleb doesn’t like the substitution of artificial formula for a mother’s milk: the substitution implies an assumption that you’ve correctly understood everything important about the thing you’re replacing.
I bet there is more to a soul than what your long sentence gets at, and I don’t want to cut out that “more” prematurely.
I think you’re gonna need to define soul here. Not in a way that implies you’ve understood everything, but in the way that you might describe fire as the red hot stuff.

I think I might say “the deepest-rooted part of yourself”? Certainly hand wavy.
The soul is the metaphorical red hot stuff :D.
