>>yet his faith and his works counted for righteousness<<

No it doesn't. James 2:22 only says that his faith was completed as in "brought to fruition". It does NOT say his works counted for righteousness. It was his faith that counted for righteousness. His works only showed his faith.

What do you mean "only"? St. James writes that the faith without works would be dead. That is a big "only".
