I mean by having a moral sense that there is a moral question to be asked - is this a good thing, a permissible thing, a bad thing. That different people ascribe a different moral value to an act demonstrates the exercise of moral sense, or moral reasoning, or ethical thinking - it doesn't mean that everyone has to agree. Ethics then becomes the discerning of the principles upon which such moral reasoning is based and the application of those principles to moral issues.
