It says that he believed and it was counted to him. It does not say it was a one time deal, because the scripture enumerates other times when Abraham was justified through his acts, and in fact you don't dispute that.

That justification was not the one Paul was speaking of in Romans, which is a one time event and results in salvation.

James is speaking of the justification that is seen.

There are two meanings to the word as even the note in the RCC bible (NAB) states.

The scripture lists three different times when Abraham was justified, — true or false?
