A more interesting search is 'faith' and 'justi'.  Most protestants believe in justification by faith which is evidenced by works.  It is faith that saves, and it is faith that produces works.

 

  1. Romans 3:26
    he did it to demonstrate his justice at the present time, so as to be just and the one who justifies those who have faith in Jesus.
    Romans 3:25-27 (in Context) Romans 3 (Whole Chapter)
  2. Romans 3:28
    For we maintain that a man is justified by faith apart from observing the law.
    Romans 3:27-29 (in Context) Romans 3 (Whole Chapter)
  3. Romans 3:30
    since there is only one God, who will justify the circumcised by faith and the uncircumcised through that same faith.
    Romans 3:29-31 (in Context) Romans 3 (Whole Chapter)
  4. Romans 4:1
    [ Abraham Justified by Faith ] What then shall we say that Abraham, our forefather, discovered in this matter?
    Romans 4:1-3 (in Context) Romans 4 (Whole Chapter)
  5. Romans 4:5
    However, to the man who does not work but trusts God who justifies the wicked, his faith is credited as righteousness.
    Romans 4:4-6 (in Context) Romans 4 (Whole Chapter)
  6. Romans 5:1
    [ Peace and Joy ] Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ,
    Romans 5:1-3 (in Context) Romans 5 (Whole Chapter)
  7. Galatians 2:16
    know that a man is not justified by observing the law, but by faith in Jesus Christ. So we, too, have put our faith in Christ Jesus that we may be justified by faith in Christ and not by observing the law, because by observing the law no one will be justified.
    Galatians 2:15-17 (in Context) Galatians 2 (Whole Chapter)
  8. Galatians 3:8
    The Scripture foresaw that God would justify the Gentiles by faith, and announced the gospel in advance to Abraham: "All nations will be blessed through you."
    Galatians 3:7-9 (in Context) Galatians 3 (Whole Chapter)
  9. Galatians 3:11
    Clearly no one is justified before God by the law, because, "The righteous will live by faith."
    Galatians 3:10-12 (in Context) Galatians 3 (Whole Chapter)
  10. Galatians 3:24
    So the law was put in charge to lead us to Christ that we might be justified by faith.
    Galatians 3:23-25 (in Context) Galatians 3 (Whole Chapter)
  11. James 2:24
    You see that a person is justified by what he does and not by faith alone.
    James 2:23-25 (in Context) James 2 (Whole Chapter)

Look at the passage from James you've quoted.

A different analogy:
Mr. Paul: I vote because I am 18.
Mr. James: You vote because you are an American citizen, and not merely because you are 18.

Mr. Paul here has not said anything inconsistent with what Mr. James has said. Mr. James has just clarified the statement of Mr. Paul.

And as someone else said, you notice Paul is talking about the law - the OT codes. The new Covenant supersedes the old law, and gives us a different route to God's grace. Catholics completely agree with that.
