No, one's faith is shown by his works, but it is not the works that save them, it is the faith that saves them, the works only show that faith.
If the faith is dead, then men cannot see it.
So, what James is saying matches what Paul is saying, but James is saying a faith to be seen must be seen by works, but Paul is saying that the faith that saves is without works.
In Heb.11 we see that faith that saved Abraham in Gen.15 (without works-Rom.4) grow into a more intimate relationship with God (friend of God-James 2).
Salvation is an event,(1Cor.1:18) growth is a process.(2Pe.3:18)
Works are rewarded at the judgement seat of Christ and there will be dead works that will receive no rewards (1Cor.3).
He that worketh not but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.
So clear even a Roman Catholic can understand it-but refuses to.
You are clearly delusional. All the smoke and mirrors and wishful thinking and trying to confuse people with St. Paul's writings will NOT make James 2 go away...
Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. James 2:17
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead? Was not Abraham our father justified by works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon the altar? Seest thou how faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect? James 2:20-22
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also. James 2:26
Do you actually think that dead faith saves???!!!
No matter what sort of phony theological explanation you come up with, you are NOT going to be able to ignore the FACT that the Bible ITSELF says that one is a "vain man" who believes one is saved by faith WITHOUT works.
The Catholic Church teaches the Truth. You are not teaching the Truth according to the entire bible. Be careful, because the NT has some interesting words for those who are teachers of false doctrine like you are passing off.
