[Titanites]

What is difficult, or impossible, for some people to understand, or grasp the truth of, is that somehow their own good works and efforts do not contribute to their salvation.

What's even more difficult, or impossible, for some people to understand, or grasp the Scriptural truth of, is that faith without works is dead.

James 2:26 For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

[boatbums]

grasp the Scriptural truth of, is that faith without works is dead.

NOT scriptural to toss out all the other scriptures that say differently. You assume "dead" means condemned to hell? Could it possibly mean, based on other scripture, unfruitful, inactive, etc.?
