To me, it looks like consequentialists care exclusively about prudence, which I also care about, and not at all about morality, which I also care about. It looks to me like the thing consequentialists call morality just is prudence and comes from the same places prudence comes from - wanting things, appreciating the nature of cause and effect, etc.

Thank you for all of your clarifications, I think I now understand how you are viewing morality.
