I didn't start this post with a well-defined idea about p-zombies, but I think you're right.
I like the bank analogy. People already treat animals as somewhat conscious, and kids can even do that with toys.
I'm not a dualist. I think it's worth talking about someone's soul or spirit, but I wouldn't want to pin the idea down to something specific, or to bring the supernatural into it.
This post hits on a lot of good points.

Indeed, if there is a soul, it is connected to the world and not separate from it.
Thank you for your kind words =)
