I think of such statements as signaling a preference or emotion rather than expressing a proper belief. Alternatively, the belief that it is wrong to kill people could simply mean that you expect to be in a poor emotional state if killing people occurs.
I think having a new category is unnecessary and a confusion, especially focusing on ‘moral beliefs’ that are simply a subset of preferences, or ‘beliefs about my emotional response to a course of events or situation’.
