Basically I'm implying that the Ring has a fea.

Now I'm afraid I'm going to have to turn the tables and ask you to explain how that is possible.

I find it hard to imagine Iluvatar saying "Wow, Sauron's really doing quite a job with this ring he's making. I think I'll give it a soul." It would be a situation somewhat analogous to the Dwarves, except that Eru gave them fear only because Aule had intended good.

If you ask me, the "soul" behind the Ring is not a fea but an eala - specifically, Sauron.
