Not sure I can parse your sentence, but I can say that I did not get the impression the Krill are continously scanning other species for a soul.The Krill did state that a soul is judged by the sword of the Krill that wields it and are just fine with attacking unarmed targets/civilians, but when it comes to human killing hostile Krill show the humans lacks soul (the opposite of how the Krill judge themselves).

The latest episode certainly did bring in a harsh moral dilemma. And it didn't shy away from the ramifications. Mercer totally radiclalized a bunch of youths, by murdering the people on their ship. Possibly family members.
The krill religion isn't really that extreme either. The Bible is pretty clear that only humans have souls. When/if we do meet aliens, there's going to be a lot of religious folk convinced they're really demons or lack souls or need to be converted to Christianity.
Why would the Krill hate a bunch of soulless beings though? If they do not have souls, there is nothing there for them to hate. Dealing with the Union might be a matter of clearing away a dangerous pest, but if all of the other races are just biological machines it does not make much sense to ascribe crimes to them, in the same way we do not suggest animals have committed a crime when they kill humans. We just kill the killer animal and move on.
And my point was that perhaps their scripture shouldn't be taken to indicate an active and continuous appraisal of the soul status of other species, just that Avis once passed judgement.Sorry for my weird sentence, but the reasoning for other beings not having a soul was stated from the Krill's holy book. It was along a soul is judged the sword, or in other words the strength of their warcraft. But when other being show their strength at war it is used to justify that they lack a soul. The opposite of how the Krill themselves judge that they have souls. Thus One Rule For Me, And Another For Three.
