Dead faith isn’t really faith at all is it

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. It’s because they can’t because purgatory doesn’t exist. The Catholics don’t 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.
