who's to say Jimmy's still 'alive'? I mean, Castiel's Earthly body was eviscerated by Raphael and then again by Lucifer. Although, it seems like a part of Jimmy remained (or revitalized by God), seeing as it was his craving that was affected by The Black Horseman's power. But as far as I'm concerened, Castiel's "riding" nothing more than an dormant, empty skin.
