"Your argument seems like this:

Premise 1: Goku has a pure heart

Premise 2: Sailor Moon has soul hax

Premise 3: Soul hax cannot work on people with pure hearts

Conclusion: Goku cannot be attacked with soul hax

The problem is your 3rd premise- you have presented no reason for why Sailor Moon's soul attack would care about Goku's pure heart. Goku was given a very specific counter for why the Devilmite Beam didn't work on him- if that counter is not included for other soul attacks- then there's no reason to believe they would not work on him. His pure heart rendered him immune to Devilmite's attack because that's how the attack works. If a different attack does not work depending on the purity of the heart then there's no reason to think the different attack will not work.

Take this alternate example:

There is a fire that will only burn evil people. So obviously a good person will be immune to the burning effects of this fire. Does this mean the good person is immune to all fire?

"

Actually it's kinda a case of burden of proof - since Moon's soulhaxing attack was never proved to work on good people (did she use them on any of the other sailor scouts for example?). Soulhax is a special case, it often tends to not work on people with a "pure heart" (See Harry Potter, Devilmite Beam, many fairytales) and is a reason for why Goku would be unaffected by Usagi's hax.

And no, but that's another story.
