Did you read the entire post? Most of your current post has already been answered.

Nor does talking about immorality affect how we are justified. It can not contradict any of Paul’s other statements, and contorting Paul’s plain words to fit a doctrine that says the exact opposite of what his plain words say is, in my opinion, foolish.

Good works and faith go together. If good works don’t exist, faith doesn’t exist. But it’s still faith and not works that justifies.

I am so sick of how some Catholics just continually assume that we don’t preach good works, even if salvation comes through faith. Why is that?

The it's not faith alone, is it?

Perhaps it is because we cannot get a straight answer on whether faith must be accompanied by good works.
