My point exactly.
He said that a living faith exhibited by works that it is indeed a living faith is what saves. He confirmed that by saying I will show you my faith by my works. Man can have works without faith but it will not save him.
Exactly.
Thanks CB; more plainly stated than I tried to state it but exactly what is meant in the passage. Unlike the Roman Catholic position that faith AND works saves, this passage is clear: faith only saves; the works we do are because of our faith!
And STILL no evidence of a Biblical purgatory. :)

Of course not. Its because they cant because purgatory doesnt exist. The Catholics dont understand that those faithful believers prior to Jesus death on the cross were in a place that was eliminated after Jesus freed them. Catholics miss a great deal about the significance of the death and resurrection of Christ.
