Conscience-The awareness of a moral or ethical aspect to one's conduct together with the urge to prefer right over wrong.
Antecedent conscience-
The judgment of a person deciding on a moral matter prior to acting on it. Antecedent conscience either commands or forbids, counsels or permits the performance of an act.
Consequent conscience-
The judgment of the mind on the morality of an action already performed. The conscience either approves what has been done, giving peace to the mind and spiritual joy, or disapproves of what was done, thus causing remorse and a sense of guilt.
Right/True conscience-
The mind making a correct moral judgment on some action either to be performed or already done. When the conscience is true, a person's subjective judgment corresponds to the objective fact that a particular human act is morally good or morally wrong.
Erroneous/False conscience-
The judgment of the mind when it wrongly decides that something is lawful but that in fact is unlawful, or vice versa. The error may be due to the false principles used or because the mind was darkened or confused in its reasoning process.
Certain conscience-
A state of mind when it has no prudent fear of being wrong about its judgment on some moral issue and firmly decides that some action is right or wrong.
Doubtful conscience-
A state of mind when it cannot certainly decide for or against a course of action and leaves the person unsure about the morality of what one is to do, or what one may have done. One sign of a doubtful conscience is that it gives rise to a positive judgment with a prudent fear of being wrong, or more commonly to a negative judgment in which the person does not know whether an act is lawful or not.
Tender conscience-
A conscience that forms objectively correct judgments with comparative ease even in finer distinctions between good and evil.
Lax conscience-
An erroneous conscience when the mind decides on insufficient grounds that a sinful act is permissible or that something gravely wrong is not serious.

The correct phrase is "weighed on your conscience." This expression means that something is causing you guilt or remorse. The word "heavy" is often used in a different context, but in this case, it is not grammatically correct.
God has put into every person a conscience. And this is a good thing. For the Christian the conscience helps in our daily living. Along with the conscience the Holy Spirit of God keeps us out of trouble. For the unbeliever though it is a different story. Although these people started out with a good conscience by their habitual sinning their conscience has been dulled and for some it has become almost nonexistent. ( A short discourse in conscience can be found in I Corinthians 8.)
Nietzsche believed that human conscience, or moral judgment, does not necessarily arise from a sense of guilt or wrongdoing as seen in criminals. Rather, he argued that conscience is shaped by societal values, beliefs, and power dynamics. Therefore, he rejects the idea that criminals have a different or lack of conscience, but rather that their actions may stem from a different set of values or circumstances.

Tagalog translation of conscience: budhi
I'm aware of innate (your word actual) conscience, or our innate goodness. I'm not aware of "habitual" conscience. But if I may infer, since you use the word habitual, then it implies conditioning; school, church, political, social, cultural, regional,friends, nationality, and all our acquired biases.

While innate conscience is the real us, devoid of dualism, prejudices, preferences, affiliations, etc.
