That might be the difference right there. You're talking ACTING in good conscience, and I'm talking BEING people of conscience.
Most humans in the history of the world were/are acting in good conscience, but I certainly wouldn't consider most humans in the world (past or present) to be people of conscience. I'm certainly not the first to use People of Conscience to refer to those who tend to be (to answer Pajamaman's question a lot later) touched by the better angels of our nature.
