The soul seems to be the person (I mean, Dean wouldn't have any hell-angst/PTSD if that wasn't the case.)
I'm a little mystified with Castiel's not wanting to get Sam's soul back because it might hurt "Sam". I mean, surely "Sam" is just a bunch of meat walking around. The man he's actually talking about is (i guess) suffering over a century's worth of torment from a couple of vengeful archangels. (Damn it. I really hope that's not true. 40 years was too over the top to begin with. Just say no, supernatural!)
