The reason Prim isn't a sinner is because she never was influenced by a vessel of sin. Now, I can't comment with any authority because I have not read the last two Daughter of Evil novels, but the implication I get from what we do know is that Prim was vain more than greedy. She wasn't taking everything necesarilly because she had the inherent want for it, she did it to heal her wounded pride more than anything.

She was jealous (different than envious) of Queen Anne for her happiness and well being and thought she deserved what her friend had more than anything else. As a result, she did all she could to assert her superiority by trying to dominate as much as she could while undermining anyone who left her insecure.

She starts the events of Story of Evil for very much the same reason Riliane causes The Green Hunting: her pride was hurt and she was jealous and insecure about being "inferior".

Gallerian is actually greedy. He is a stingy judge who makes a lot of money and tries to make even more money on the side by choosing to accept bribes over meting out real justice. That is not only criminal, it is among the most corrupt, amoral things to do. The purpose of the justice system is to fairly and rightly distribute needs and recompensation while keeping order for society. Gallerian takes those principals, sees a few loose change, and throws them out the window to tell a criminal who will lie, steal, cheat, or kill that he is "innocent" while convicting someone who he knows to be innocent (such as Gammon's brother, Nyoze Octo).

Even after death, he refuses to give up his material wealth for salvation when he is given the very same corrupt deal that he mete unto others. He gets a chance out of it and he is too greedy to give it up. He's already dead! If Gallerian is a reincarnation of Adam, then Adam really fell off the moral mountain in Gallerian's subconcious.
