You have conveniently forgtten these Scripture verses:

"So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead." James 2:17

"You see that man is justified by works and not by faith alone." James 2:24

"For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so faith apart from works is dead." James 2:26

Another couple of interesting little disconnects with the "Sola Fide" (by faith alone) type of person (in general):

1. The act of your believing is a work. It is something that YOU must do.

2. The act of being baptised is a work. The vast majority of "sola fide" types subscribe to the necessity of baptism in water. (and, as for those who don't believe in water baptism, well...)

It's far easier being Catholic.
