James was speaking to believers, to exhort them to put their faith into practice.

"Yea, a man may say, Thou hast faith, and I have works: shew me thy faith without thy works, and I will shew thee my faith by my works.

Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble." -- James 2:18-19

Works are the fruit of the Holy Spirit and by them we are known.

I know the Protestant spin on the Epistle of St.James and nave no interest in, or respect for the gospels of Messrs. Piper, Hodge, and Webster. I can read what is written in the Holy Scripture myself.
