If D-separation and conditional independence are equivalent for a directed acyclic graph, its moral graph is its conditional independence graph. After conditioning on all other vertices, an active path can only be a direct edge or a two-edge collider through a common child: two adjacent interior vertices cannot both be colliders. These are exactly the moral edges.
