I believe the references I provided along with the relevant Scripture passages more than adequately explained how the book of James is perfectly in line with and in no way contradicts the doctrine of salvation and our justification being by grace through faith apart from our works.

Romans 5:1-2 Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

Phase 3: post scripture quotes that reflect the Catholic doctrine as if they support the Protestant heresy of justification by faith alone.

“We have been justified by faith” (Romans 5:1) does not contradict “we are not justified by faith alone” (James 2:24).
