Aren't the differences obvious and self stated even in that sentence?
One the one hand, a moral code exists....your moral code - so, obviously you have a (as in, at least one, lol?) moral code...not no moral code - as in..none. Less than one.
Continuing, a moral code exists which is informing a persons actions - so obviously you aren't acting entirely on a whim, you're acting on that moral code, that does exist, that you possess.
