As far as I can tell it is only a few wretched Calvinists who believe in "another Christ" and a "Co-redemptrix", not as actual entities, but as fallacious deceptions created by them to abuse the devout. As for works-based salvation you have to take that argument up with God:
James 2:14-26
Faith and Works
14 What use is it, my brethren, if someone says he has faith but he has no works? Can that faith save him?
15 If a brother or sister is without clothing and in need of daily food,
16 and one of you says to them, "Go in peace, be warmed and be filled," and yet you do not give them what is necessary for their body, what use is that?
17 Even so faith, if it has no works, is dead, being by itself.
18 But someone may well say, "You have faith and I have works; show me your faith without the works, and I will show you my faith by my works."
19 You believe that God is one You do well; the demons also believe, and shudder.
20 But are you willing to recognize, you foolish fellow, that faith without works is useless?
21 Was not Abraham our father justified by works when he offered up Isaac his son on the altar?
22 You see that faith was working with his works, and as a result of the works, faith was perfected;
23 and the Scripture was fulfilled which says, "AND ABRAHAM BELIEVED GOD, AND IT WAS RECKONED TO HIM AS RIGHTEOUSNESS," and he was called the friend of God.
24 You see that a man is justified by works and not by faith alone.
25 In the same way, was not Rahab the harlot also justified by works when she received the messengers and sent them out by another way?
26 For just as the body without the spirit is dead, so also faith without works is dead.
No, the Roman Catholic catechism, Roman Catholic popes and various Roman Catholics apologetics teach that the RC priestcraft is “another Christ” and that Mary is a “co-Redeemer.”
And it’s good to see you posting Scripture, but now your job is to understand Scripture, because the verses from James you posted do not support a works-based salvation. James is saying that true faith will always produce good fruit by the work of the indwelling Holy Spirit.
Keep reading the Bible and praying for the Holy Spirit to open your eyes and ears to the truth of CHRIST ALONE.
