I was trying to take into account motivation, and other factors. Regina didn't have a heart when she slaughtered all those people, but as far as I know, Malcolm did. Regina was motivated by a consuming grief which led to her quest for revenge. Malcolm just resented the fact that he had a child. Cora and Regina both had to rip their own hearts out before they were able to go through with their evil plans. Not Malcolm, though. To have a heart and still act heartless is pretty bad.
