And I, being Catholic, think that what James is saying is what he is saying, right in the inspired text he wrote. Where Protestants wonder, fantasize and obfuscate Catholics know. You only think you know that is what James is saying because your "church" has decided it is a proof text for the accursed gospel they preach. Your religion is filled to the brim with wonder, fantasies, legends, myths and obfuscations in order to keep gullible people from discovering the truth of the TRUE gospel. It's no wonder when the Holy Spirit breaks through to the heart of a cradle Roman Catholic and he/she finally comprehends what genuine grace and faith really is, sooner or later he/she MUST flee the clutches of a false religion and seek out the assembly of genuine, born again believer brothers and sisters in Christ. It's a beautiful thing!

What James is saying is that you can't do any works acceptable to God unless you are (1) first saved by faith, and after that (2) operating under the guidance of the indwelling Holy Ghost (which Satan and his minions do not).

I only understand justification because a bishop of the Catholic Church St. James wrote how it is in his letter. I am supposed to do different? Listen to Protestant charlatans instead? Sorry, no sale.
