What is the Bible, but the essential nature, inherent in man? By this, moral standard, as defined in the Bible, humankind will be, at the very least, the minute descriptions therein. Know not or witness not, wasn't it reason that destroyed Adam and Eve. Thus, knowing good and evil. Reason is the very explanation. Didn't God say, "Live as I say and do as well"? Adam and Eve didn't have a gospel to go by and they knew God. What God didn't say was that if you eat of that Tree, you will become confused by what you see, understanding my words will be hard to do. Thus, reason was born unto them. In humanity, those that do not know the Gospel or have not even bear witness to it, there is a definite example of the Bible. If said individual isn't out killing, being adulterous, etc. Humanity, in part understands the Gospel, but misunderstands its purpose. It's purpose was to be an example, a guide to live by. Instead, I have found that it is used also, in part, to condemn. Overall, condemnation referred to in the Bible, is that of the individual closing his or her own doors by certain actions spoke contrarily in the Bible. God is patient, do not misunderstand as God is always there to anyone that opens the right doors.
Is it alright to misunderstand or misinterpret the Bible? Is it okay to be morally sound, but still go to Heaven? Is it okay never to open and read the Bible? Are you a good person for not doing so?

Is it okay to be morally sound, but still go to Heaven?

There is a lot in your post. Let me answer this question. "Okay" isn't the issue here. The question is "Is it possible?". No, it isn't even possible. Romans 3:10 says that there is none righteous. All have sinned. (Rom 3:23)

The wages of Sin is death (Rom 6:23). Nobody is "morally sound", all are deserving of death. God's gift to us is eternal life through Jesus Christ (Rom 6:23; John 3:16).

[Benedicta00]

Anyone who has reason is in need of God's actual grace if the man is going to respond to God's call to repentance. When the man repents, through Christ the man is saved.

Anyone who does not have reason is in need of only one thing, Christ making atonement for the sin of Adam.

The bible does not say definitively what the state of souls, who have no sense of reason, is.

So we, based on what the bible does say, have hope that because Christ died for the sin of man, and a soul who does not willingly choose sin, God will make a way of salvation for them through Christ.

On the other hand what we do know is, John the Baptist said “Behold the lamb of God, he who takes away the sin of the world” which is man’s sin, Adam’s sin. So Christ can take away the sin of a man through baptism and if man does not have the reason to chose sin, he- because of Him who took away Adam’ sin, is saved, because baptism removes the sin of Adam.
