It's a saving faith that produces works.

Yes, indeed. And it's works that produce a saving faith:

"Thou seest that faith wrought with his works, and by works was faith made perfect; and the scripture was fulfilled which saith, And Abraham believed God, and it was reckoned unto him for righteousness; and he was called the friend of God. Ye see that by works a man is justified, and not only by faith." - James 2:22-24

Rather than continue with confusing answers to my two simple questions, you could just give us the letters (A, B, C, D, or E) so that your opinion about faith and works at Jericho will be plain. That would help the discussion, and be an improvement over the single answer you gave ("The answer to both of those is faith.") in which you say faith was both necessary and unnecessary(!).

Or, since it seems you don't enjoy the challenge of simple questions, I'll make it less painful by posing just one:

Would the walls of Jericho have fallen without the marching?
A. Yes
B. No

>> And it's works that produce a saving faith:<<

Works produce a saving faith??? In what alternate universe? God instils faith, faith produces works. Any other wording is twisting the words of God.

>>Would the walls of Jericho have fallen without the marching?<<

It is written

Hebrews 11:30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days.
