Until you can reconcile Jame 2 with Romans 4:1-5, you're setting up a false conflict that doesn't have to be. When you understand them in the right context, it all becomes clear, faith justifies us before God, and works or deeds are the evidence of that faith.so you disagree with James chapter 2?

Anti-Catholic Protestants only accept the scriptures that don't sound too Catholic.. So much for sola scriptura (but the Catholics never taught that rot )
Works do not justify us before God.
