Christians are more than disciples. We are in the family, with His Life spark in us. We are indwelt by His Holy Spirit Who is tasked with raising us up in the Way that we should go. We are not ‘following’ to some future destination where Salvation will then be obtained. We are already Saved and His Spirit is in us, evidenced by walking after His Spirit instruction. James wrote about this, as from the human perspective. He said he would show his faith by his works. He didn’t say he would obtain saving faith by his works.

I've got to go for a while, but wanted quickly to let the Scriptures correct a couple things you said:

Christians are more than disciples...We are not ‘following’ to some future destination where Salvation will then be obtained.

Christians are exactly the same as disciples:

"the disciples were called Christians first in Antioch."

"Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you"

"It is enough for the disciple that he be as his teacher, and the servant as his lord."

"Then said Jesus unto his disciples, If any man would come after me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me."
