Following Aristotle, there are three kinds of levels of souls.

Ignore Aristotle just as he ignores the scriptures...What an animal is lacking is a spirit...Humans have a spirit...Animals do not...Animals will not go to heaven...

What an animal is lacking is a spirit

Depends on your definition of spirit doesn't it? And whether they have soul depends on your definition of soul.

Depending on your definitions and classifications, animals can or cannot have either.

Define your terms.

Did you read my explanation?

And it is only the rational soul of man which has the power to love or to sin. It is the only one capable of redemption by God and union with Him in eternal life.
