r comment: “we also must obey his commandments.”

Yes. Keeping His commandments requires works - actions - prayers.

How can we have faith in God if we do not act on that faith and keep His commandments to love God and our neighbor?

Protestants are known their slogan that we are justified by “faith alone,” but the expression “faith alone” only appears once in the Bible—in James 2:24—where it is rejected. This is a burr under the saddle for Protestants, for, if they wanted to use terms the way the Bible does, they would have to give up their chief slogan.

Oh?

I thought it was CATHOLICS who 'debated' long and loud about whether to INCLUDE James into the Bible?
