Is it ever a sin to be naive about dangers to the Faith or one's morals?

If by it you mean someone having a lack of experience, say a young person, then no, they will learn as they get older what dangers to watch out for.

If it is an adult who refuses to acknowledge the dangers then it possibly could be because it is willful.

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober and watch: because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, goeth about seeking whom he may devour.

Scripture advises us to be on guard!
