Sola scripture and sola gratis seem to make sense enough, but I can’t get how you would want to come up “sola fide” since James 2:24 says that we are NOT saved by faith alone.

It’s like saying that Thou shalt have other gods before me. Thou shalt commit adultery. You’re creating a theology based on the exact OPPOSITE of what the Bible says.

Wrong. James is describing real faith. The context is justification BEFORE man, not God. "If a man shall say . . ." James is saying the same thing Paul said in Romans: Abraham was justified by works, but not before God.
